Just wondering, GM Genesys, Yamaha PSR 10000, Technics 7000. What if they are all there but $3000+ (USD)...
Will it really affect most of us? Will most of us go and buy the new keyboard or will it just spur the "wish list" again.
I like reading this forum because most of you are likely better than I, and I have been waiting for a great deal on a Korg PA or just buy the Yamaha PSR 2000.
I was just wondering if a majority of you will go out a buy the new boards so that when I finally get my "off-broadway" model I will have to review all the old lists for information, instead of joining the mix.
Cheers for making music.

We got to remember to keep reminding ourselves that's it's NOT as much the equipment we use, but 'how' we utilize what we have. Some of the best music with creativity & soul comes from people playing older model keyboards. Afterall, most real musicians aren't rich, but hey, I guess we can all still dream . . . hmmm, let's see, which will it be next? The KN7000, PSR10K, or?

I'm going to keep buying till someone gets it right! They get close sometimes, but I'm always searching..........

There will never be ..A Perfect Arranger! the musical instrument industry will always omit something that would give it that 'Perfect' status, we are are all victims of clever marketing and constantly evolving technology.
Unfortunately being a keyboard player is a costly business as we like to be up to date whereas Guitarist's, Bassist's , Drummers, wind players are happy to stick with the same instrument almost indefinately.

If "the perfect" kb already was here, we still
would like to try out and explore new things,
and hopefully there will be lot's of new kb's
in the future too.
Perfect for one of us, is not perfect for the
other, so I guess we'll carry on as usual.
Maybe someday UD praise a Technics, and I go
for a Yamaha, would'nt that be quite a topic?
And maybe Scott return from Namm with a new
Kawai or Casio as the new baby....
Life is wonderful, but I still miss my old
fashion turntable in this modern world.

Hey Guys,

For me, this lifelong pursuit called music or performing needs to have it's fun times. I'm sure you guys who perform for a living enjoy what you're doing, but there are plenty of days you're working hard to keep your commitments and get through the sets. But just like going to a football game, or hockey game or the theater, this event is great entertainment. A chance to step back and really be amazed at this music industry we are all apart of. Sure, you'll see stuff you could never afford, but hey, it's like the boat show and the 100' yacht you'll never own....still fun to look at. The secret is like Scott said, make what you have work for you. Be content and express yourself and use your God given ability. There will never be another you (In my case, that's a good thing!!) Then again, there will be stuff that will spark your imagination and help you in some way or another. Like being a kid at Christmas. remeber the line from Batman I when the joker muses, "Gad, those wonderful toys" as he is amazed at all of Batmans gizmos (you can tell my IQ here can't you). Well that about wraps up my view towards NAMM. Scott, I envy you being able to go and I hope it's everything you expect and more. Now, next year, how do I get in???? gad.....those wonderful toys.........

All you need is an invitation. Since it is a trade show, you'll have to tag along with someone in the industry. Buddy up with a music store owner, and see if they take you!

Thanks guys, its comforting to know that when I get my arranger and can join more discussions that there will be enough activity on what will probably be sensibly priced PSR 2000. I admit that I agree with both Scott and Uncle Dave. We do must focus on the music.... but sure wish they get it right. Instead of keep buying though, I just keep waiting. This is the last NAMM show without an arranger.
You'll hear back from me, mark my words... I'll be back (with an arranger).

Guess what it seems that the PSR 9000 Pro is a discontinued item! SO... Yamaha has a new board coming out. Inside scoop, CDRW, CPU, Touch screen, I'm drooling already. By the way I have just joined the forum, although I have been a reader of your group messages for some time.

SynthMeister,
WAIT ! Exactly 'Where' did you get your information that the 9000pro is being discontinued now? I'm confused because you first say 'it seems that the 9000pro is a discontinued item' but then say that you have an 'inside scoop'. Is this just an assumption or actually a reliable source? This certainly will be BIG news to most of us here. especially since the 9000pro has only been out for a year. And how about the PSR9000 which is even older than the 9000pro? I'll be attending NAMM next week so if what you're saying really is true, could that mean that Yamaha has a BIG PSR10K surprise in store for us NEXT week?! Ok, I hope you're not just 'teasing' just to get everyone excited for nothing.
Welcome to the forum. - Scott
