Ever since I picked up my PSR2100 back in July, I look at this board AND Yamaha with so much respect. This board is a gold mine! Like so many of you have said, it is a LOT of keyboard for the money. I look at my VA-7 and KN7000 and KR7 and say, "That's a LOT of money for a keyboard!"

One of the things I like about the PSR is that it leans more toward the creation of contemporary music. The KN7000 is more like an organ disguised as a keyboard. I've had it for a year and still don't know if I really like it.

I realize these opinions are merely my own and many of you will not agree. That's OK we all have different tastes. I just feel really good about my Yammie right now and I love when I get something that seems to be worth more than what I paid for it.

It's hard for me to believe that so much technology is packed into this keyboard, and others too for that matter.
Ten years ago, if the technology even existed, such a system would have been at least 10 times a much, because you would have to assemble all the components.
DonM

Gotta agree with Don Mason. If they made this keyboard 10 years ago, none of us would have been able to afford it. The 2000 and 2100 are, in the opinion of many performing musicians, the best keyboard available for their needs. And, while the Tyros is an excellent keyboard, you can buy a 2100, plus a spare 2100, and still have a few bucks left over for the price of a Tyros.

I said the same thing when I got a PSR740. But, when the 2000 came out it blew my mind. The operating system on the 2000 made it so much easier to navigate on stage.

Even though there were enhancements with the introduction of the 2100 and Tyros, I decided to stay with the 2000 and buy a 2nd one as back up to avoid any compatabilaty problems with styles and registrations.

I agree also...as a skeptic of the early days of the 2k release and seeing its potential evolve thru the years...
now it "ALL" makes sense in so many ways "For ME on stage" as a solo performer.
Actully the cost is insignificant if it does what I need it to do.

... "Great Aranger KB".....Final Answer!

Honestly I really LOVE my 2k. With all this stuff inside makes me wonder what does the future KB´s bring to you..

So far I have found one tiny thing I would like to see different in future Yammies like 2k, changing XG-voices. I like the idea to pick a voice by pressing one button(guitar, strings...) but why does not XG-voices work like that

Don´t kill me for this...

Hi Donny,

Realizing that you owned the PSR2000 briefly (became disatisfied with it, and then subsequently dumped it), I'm curious to find out what 'specific' new or improved features on the PSR2100 have caused you to have a changed opinion about this newer Yamaha PSR2100 model over the PSR2000.

Hi Scott,...I'm using a Psr2000 right now [after so many other KB's]...no need for the 2100 [not much difference to warrant a purchase]but this time around I approached the setup and navagtion a bit differently...seting up & running "ALL" registrations off Floppy..leaving the user memory available for my special styles "Only".....Smf....Mp3 are run off the Laptop....I also have the Music Finder custom made to suit hundreds of my songs with the "key" in the Title eg: [My Way C ]ETC...unlike the reg the MF wont save Key/Style variation....The 2k has too many pros vs cons for my work at this time. So far now it's doing its job, I'm happy, my audience is happy....!


Take care.....

Hi Donny

In other words you're using a "Gig Disk" with styles and OTS settings?

Scott

The way Donny set his up is similar to a gig disk, however, the access is through registration memory slots stored on a floppy instead of just style files renamed to song titles. It's really effective, and you do lots of quick changes on the fly. It's almost like a modified version of the keyboard's MFD, but with much faster access.

Cheers,

Gary
