I am a songwriter who mostly writes ballads. Can anyone recommend an arranger that will fit most of my needs? One maybe with the most variety of ballad styles maybe? Do ya think the PSR2000 I've ordered will fit the bill? Any help will be appreciated. (I guess I just want to feel like I made the right decision in ordering the PSR2000). Thanks to my forum friends for listening.

Feel rest assured that the PSR2000 will fit those ballads just lovely! As a composer myself of slow easy ballads, relaxing new age and electronica, I settled on the PSR keyboards for their laid back warm sound and styles. The ballads are some of the finest, though that didnt stop me producing my own styles (both free and commercial). If you enjoy relaxed laid back style, then you will be more than pleased to try out the free downloads of my styles at psrworld (svpworld). The psr keyboards offer a wide range of warm electric pianos, nice pads and smooth sounding guitars which fit the ballad styles perfectly. Though other keyboards offer ballads too, somehow they didnt have the same smooth warmth and open feeling that yamaha have injected into their keyboards.

I have the psr9000 now, the great thing about these machines is that you can always find new and interesting new styles for inspiration. Even if you dont use them for recording, the styles really do inspire you together with the expressive cool and sweet voices on offer. Take a listen to some of the tracks I've done when you get your keyboard, I've uploaded the midifiles too at my site.

Hope you enjoy your 2000 when it arrives and feel free to contact me if you need any help!

Kind regards

Hi

Most all keyboards have lots of ballad styles/rhythms,
and also a lot of additional sofware to fit most
all kinds of taste.
The only person who can answer your question
properly, is most likely yourself.
Only to visit the dealers or other places where
those keyboards can be played on, and try this
out by yourself will give you the answer about
what keyboard who suit your needs.

Then you have to think about how you're going to
use the keyboard, by use only the "onboard" or
additional styles, or do you want to make those
by yourself.
If you like to do this kind of things easily,
then you should try out several brands to see
how they work and sounds.
Kind regards!
