"And no telephone type keypad which I use a great deal"

That explains our difference of opinion. I could never get on with the keypad on my 630; and I have no problem with the menu structure on the 2k.

Hi,
the yahoo psr style user group has lots of styles available for free download, some good some not so good.

Simons SVP World has free software programs & utilities to help you create & edit styles for psrs. http://www.svpworld.com/psr_software.htm

Also like Bryan ( Pilot) I've found XG Works sequencer great. I use it with my 9000pro (home use only). It has the ability to use my pro styles and create backing tracks (in a similar fashion to Band in a Box) ie type in chord progression, type in style progression ie intro, variations etc and explode it into midi tracks for further editing.
I can also use it for creating styles in conjunction with one of the free style creation programs on Simons site.

best wishes
Rikki
p.s personally I prefer my kn7 as far as onboard style creation goes. It's one of the easiest to create styles for, because of all the onboard style creation functions.

I have loved Yamaha's PSR series of keyboards for years. Most of the models i have owned over the years were the lower priced models with lesser features. In the last 5 years I have seen the 550, then 740, but neither really made me want to get a new one. The PSR1000 really caught my eye (ears really!) and I started saving for it. Then I saw a 2000 and was actually sold. I bought my PSR2000 in February and I can honestly say this is the BEST keyboard I have ever owned at any price. I am still in awe of its power and features and am actively converting styles and still playing it every day....................because I want too!!!

Here's a post I found on the Yahoo PSR Songs group:


"Hello

I have PSR 740, and i think about selling it and buy PSR 2000
But after compare PSR 740 and PSR 2000, I found that PSR 740 have a much better sound quality.
So i decide to keep my old PSR 740

Is there any body have the same opinion with me?"

Maybe you'd all like to go and shoot him down.

Sound is certainly an objective subject, but to say that the 740 has better sounds than the upgraded 2000 is not going to be the popular opinion. Maybe some will prefer the older sounds, but the added sounds like
!live! and !cool! voices are worth the upgrade, I think.
