Hi Gary,
I agree it would be better to have a slot where you could plug a card in directly
( at the front).
Pity yamaha didn't use an sd card like Technics did. There probably wasn't much point in having a Smart Media slot when the smart media cards I beleive are being discontinued.

My card reader works quite well. It has a usb cable, so the reader actually sits on the music rest or on the keyboard itself. Admittedly my psr doesn't get moved , but if I did have to pack it up, I wouldn't miss noticing it. Suppose some of those pen devices could get broken if overlooked when packing up a keyboard in a hurry.

Larger onboard memory certainly would be great. I haven't actually seen any full specifications as yet.

best wishes
Rikki

Hi Dennis,
if you've actually managed to get your hands on an E50 then great.

If you do end up getting one, luv to know what you think of it. Just out of interest what are they roughly retailing for around here.

best wishes
Rikki

what purpose does the aux out serve for those of
you that are lamenting its loss? i don't have one
on my kb and would like to know what i'm missing..

I think it´s just is an audio out.
But you can not set the volume on it.
It is the same volume all the time. The other audio outputs follows the "volumebutton"

so what is so necessary about having that?
why is everyone lamenting its loss?

Is there a less excitement aura in the air about this new Yamaha suedo 3k/T2 hybrid S900/700 release.....doesn't seem to have the normal "exuberance" that all its predecessors had? what do you think attributes to this?
