It does sound good Donny. I'd been removed from Yamaha arrangers for about 3 years up until yesterday. I have to admit there are some things I missed for sure. The multipads are one of them. I can find many different ways to use them.

With the rumors floating around of a possible 76 key version, I kinda wanted to wait to see the 3k's successor, but I'm also kinda glad I didn't wait that long. I can't think much past today, never mind several more months. I'll surely give it a look when it arrives though.

I hear ya AJ....even though the 3k came out almost two years ago it still is on par with today's top KB's sound wise....aside from few features omitted in the 3k that Tyros has which I dont use anyway & in no way is a hindrance to my performing.....the 3k is still one of the best bang for the buck KB's ever made to date.....& down the road if the successor to the 3k tickles my fancy I can just go pick one up no problem & try it out....but for now earning is no problem with the 3k....
The Yamaha Multipads are a super powerful addition to playing styles & beyond especially that you can record your Own too & then add them to your performance four at a time!

Enjoy your new T2...cant wait to hear some of your tunes also!!

Does the g70 or e80 have multipads? I cant remember.

To answer your question I would have to say no.....But there are some G70 work-around ideas to achieve a similar effect on the same order as Multipads if your creative.

WOW!! Donny!
Now I see why you order so many boards!

Are you sure that boards? and not broads?

Nice to hear some postive talk about the 3000.It's a great board that has got lost in the shuffle with the release of the T2 I have been using one the past year and half the board has served me very well. But listening to all the hype about other boards and brands I'm getting anxious, but I still probably wait to see what the 3000 replacment has to offer.

Thats me too Stephen, exactly.
Love the 3000, but curious to see whats in the replacement.
The screen/sun issue helps me to consider the Tyros' because of the flip-up screen. That has to help a bit outdoors.

But then there's the Bose thing with me too. Should my next major investment go towards improving the output of the sound (Bose) or picking up some board enhancements.

I'll probably end up keeping the 3000, buy the Bose, and attach an umbrella to the Bose pole for shade.

MrEd Got a good point, the more I hear about the Bose, it may be the better route than a new board.

The umbrella worked great for me, and there's no doubt about the Bose--you're gonna' love it!

For now, and probably for the next few years, the 3000s will be my bread and butter machines--they've paid for themselves several times over and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Cheers,

Gary

Gary... I totally agree with you the 3k is a classic.....these last few transformations have really changed the way I think about arranger KB's....
again I sit in my comfort zone with a big smile enjoying some Bread & Lots of Butter

heard that b4 donny mabe a couple of weeks more like & you will be back to ty2

If I may, a sidebar question for Gary,

You probably have been asked this before, but how do you attach your laptop to the 3000?



Thanks

Larry,

I posted detailed instructions on the PSR-Tutorial site on constructing a laptop platform.

Go to http://psrtutorial.com/Resources/musictips.html then click on Projects. Scroll down the projects page and you'll see the drawings, instructions on building the platform and photos. It's really not at all difficult, and you can make it from Lexan or Aluminum. The aluminum model is about the same weight as the lexan, but a lot stronger.

Good Luck,

Gary

A very kool thing on the 3k is when playing a SMF.........find an appropiate drum pattern, push play & it will cancel the SMF drum track and play the style drums. Hope Im explaining it right.
