Marko,
I'm not at the keyboard right now, but I remember a setting that can be made that determines whether the One-touch setting takes place immediately or at the start of the next measure. This could by the problem with the sound cutting off. Or there could be a similar setting for the sound itself.
I'll try to check it out when I get time, but VERY busy right now. But that's a good thing!

Which is the best piano-module I can connect to "my" PSR2000? Cost: less than 400 box.

Don is right. If you hit the function button and hit the Button "C" next to the Style Setting/split point/chord fingering words, you will then see at the bottom of the screen aove the button 2 "OTS Link Timing" You can select "Real Time" or "Next Bar". Now you have the choice of the OTS changing immediately or at the beginning of the next bar.

DonM and George. Thanks for the tip. It works as expected, but the problem stays the same. After the voice change I get a short stop in sounding, working with the OTS or without. It is true that this is not the case with every voice.

Please try this on your keyboards: Select Ballad: 8BeatModern style and switch the OTS link on. Play the right hand sound and keep the voice sounding while pressing another variation. Do you hear the interrupt? If not It is something wrong with my keyboard.

Thank you very much for your response.

Hi Marko
I'm surprised you miss the aftertouch on your EM2000. I own one myself and have NEVER been able to get the aftertouch to work right. In fact, I don't even know if it is working at all. I never seem to hear it. Maybe I have not turned it on, or programmed it, or something. But this just goes along with what you felt about the EM2000 being a big pain to learn to use!

TomTomSF. Funny but I find the EM2000 easy to use, possibly because I came from a Korg i3 & i30.

The Aftertouch and Dynamic Arranger on the EM are easy to setup.
If you wish to email me privately I would be happy to give you any help with questions about the EM2000.

Hi, TomTomSF
If I remember we purchased our EM2000's at the same time about three years ago. You were the one that introduced me to a mighty Roland arrangers group. It is relatively easy to setup the aftertouch but It is not preprogrammed - you must do it by yourself. So It is maybe not so userfriendly but It certainly gives you more control. I don't remember exactly where you find this in the unlogical structure of the menues because I don't have it anymore, but I think It is under the parameter menu.

BTW: Your room with four keyboards is very nice. Which one do you lately play the most?

Regards,
Marko

Marko,
Right now, I'm playing the pa80 a lot. Because it's my newest, I'm still learning and exploring on it. But yesterday, I sat at my KN5000 for a couple of hours and had fun. That's what I like about having a bunch of different keyboards. I can get in a "mood" and play one for a week, then the next week it's something else. The drawback, I guess, is that I never really become an expert at any of them. But, then again, I'm no expert player!

Graham,
Can you easily explain how to turn on Aftertouch and set it up on a particular voice to get a great result? I'd appreciate it.

Marko
By the way, where did you see my room with my keyboards? On the Yamaha group?
Tom

TomTomSF, There is a picture of your room with the keyboards in the Yahoo discussion group Yamaha-psr-styles under the File directory. Very nice.
