Nice demos DNJ by a decent player, but the 3k is certainly no T2 after listening to the songs played. It does come in a very close 2nd place though and is great value for money. The 3k's replacement which may be out early next year should bridge the gap between the T2 far more.

Donny,

Having owned two PSR-3000 I must say it is a powerful keyboard and is the equal of the Tyros1 in my opinion.

The Tyros2 is a different matter...it is light years ahead of the 3k(and T1) in terms of keyboard action and the SA voices and extra Sweet voices are definitely a cut above the great sounds in the 3k.

I enjoyed my time with the 3k immensely,and I still have one as a backup, but once I began playing the Tyros2, there was no going back.

It was well worth the difference in price and I have no regrets in making the purchase.

Ian

Ive owned both, & performed with both....but to me and MY NEEDS the 3k is more then enough, plus you can use T2/T1 & so many more converted KB's/3rd party styles.....there's too much UNEEDED stuff that I never use on the T2 for MY act & the way I play...SA/HD/Sampler/Buly wide design/
No speakers, were a few user/navagational decision making features for me, some call the 3k a toy?.....
I call it a cash register.....the future? who knows?
I'm not knocking the T2 at all its a very fine instrument .....just stating that for MY Needs on stage its overkill vs the better suited 3k.

I'm very happy with my new PSR3000.
When I was at Long & McQuade, they had a PSR1500, PSR3000, and a Tyros 2. I saw the Tyros 2, but didn't dare play it.

Starkeeper you made a fine choice with the 3k....depends how you look at it for YOUR Needs....many pros use the 3k every day with much success.If it makes you happy its priceless.

DNJ do you mean you've had a T2 and 3k in the past but now just use the 3k?
Did you sell the T2 because you find that the songs you play you can do on the 3k alone so the T2 was overkill for what you wanted? I'm just a bit confused here as there are far too many previous posts to read and catch up with and surprised someone who has had a T2 would want to get rid of it. If I had a T2 and 3k, the 3k would be the first to go.

Which of these has a sequencer, how many tracks, and if using SMFs, which is easier to utilize, change/mute voices, volume, etc., especially in a 'live' situation?
thnx,
