There is also one at PSR Tutorial page, and two at Yahoo PSR groups--one for styles, the other for songs. http://psrtutorial.com/ http://www.egroups.com/messages/yamaha-psr-styles http://www.egroups.com/messages/yamaha-psr-songs

I've book marked those. Thankyou.
Although I did wonder why here on synth zone there is not a seperate forum for yamaha arrangers.
I know there is a yamaha forum in the synth section but not in the arranger section.

Hi

There are many Yamaha Forums!
Take a look here http://home7.inet.tele.dk/js/musik/740pages/link740.htm

The Unofficial YAMAHA PSR Resource Site at http://home7.inet.tele.dk/js/musik/740pages/index.htm

OOOH I forgot Jorgen's site--it's one of the best!

The Arranger Keyboard forums were first started by Chris Hansen who owned a Roland Arranger, so he requested a forum devoted to Roland arrangers in addition to the General forum. Since then there has been demand for Technics, Ketron and GeneralMusic forums but I have thought about closing the Roland arranger Forum due to lack of interest. There has really been no demand to start one just for Yamaha arrangers or else I would have. If you you would like to have a separate Yamaha Arranger Forum I'd be happy to create one.

I don't think we need or want a separate Yamaha Arranger here. There are many good ones, as have already been mentioned. The great thing about this forum is that we read ideas and topics from owners of all types of arrangers; and the successes and problems seem to be similar for each keyboard. I enjoy reading posts from all the Ketron, Korg, Roland, Yamaha and *** users. This forum is more a place to chat about experiences than individual keyboards - although we certainly have our fair share of help topics. As was wittily said a few posts back, the main question on this forum is 'what arranger should I buy?' or something very similar to that. NIGEL, please keep us together; don't start a new group.

On second thought, if there is enough interest in a Yamaha group, they should have the opportunity to make a go of it. I'm just be selfish and foolish; I was afraid we'd lose many of our readers, but I'm sure that wouldn't be the case.

I also agree, please no more forums! We are in danger of diluting our community of members once there is too much choice. Of course I would say that, as I run a forum for Yamaha arranger users! :-)

I agree. I've spent more time here at the general arranger forum than I have in any of the other ones, and a part of that is because it isn't brand specific. Also, there is good input and there are good storylines here and in a way you really do get to know your fellow musicians, even if you never meet in person.

The other forums listed here are all good too. I especially like Simon's, and I still read it often even though I currently do not have a Yamaha arranger. Jorgen's site is outstanding, and I have found many tools and things that are useful even if I don't have a PSR. I don't like the Yahoo format very much, but the forums themsleves ( PSR styles, PSR2000, XG works etc ) are also very good.

Nigel,

I agree with your assessment. I have request though, that the GEM (General Music) forum stays intact. Although there is not much traffic there, But I noticed that many people are watching it including GEM folks. Lot depend on it for getting their specific questions answered. Besides, it has discussions related to GEM synths which are not arrangers.

Thank you very much.

I hear what you all are saying and I will not start up a separate Yamaha Arranger Forum. If anything the the Roland Arranger Forum will go away in the near future.

And don't worry about the GeneralMusic Forum, it will always have a home here as will Technics and Ketron.

Thanks for the input, it makes it easier to make decisions.

Nigel, if I may be so bold as to make a recommendation for the Forum, I would like to see an indicator on each topic of how many times a topic has been read! There are a lot of participants on this forum that do not post or reply to messages, but do read them and it would be interesting to see which topics are popular are which ones are dull and boring.

As for the latter, most of my topics fall in that category :-) !

Keep up the great work!
Regards,
Al

Nigel,

Thanks. Is there a feature in which one can recommend a post if he likes it?

No, the software doesn't provide that. But the next best thing is to put a link to the thread in your posting.

This BBS software doesn't provide that feature. And because the developer dropped support for this version of the BBS I am not able to upgrade the software without starting a brand new BBS. While I probably will do that at some point in time, it will not be in the near future.

You have to respect a man that can say no!

Have you ever looked at Snitz Forums Software? Free and easy to install. I think Simon uses that at SVPworld. Simon?
