Hi, Could some body help me.....
I am currently in the market for a keyboard need to know which I should consider.
1. Korg Karma
2. Roland Fantom
3. Yamaha Motiff
Could you tell me which I should consider if anybody may have used either of these keyboards.
I am also looking at getting an arranger as well... can anybody give me an advice on which I should consider.
1. Roland VA7/76
2. Yamaha 9000pro

Thanks ....

Hi JerryM,
As far as synth`s last night I had a chance to play both the "Korg-Karma" and the "Yamaha -Motif 6" of the 2 ,I think the yamaha sounded better , but the korg had better "action". As far as arranger KB`s you could take a long time and think about the "Yamaha-PSR2000" (it`s still buggy, but a better buy than the 9000) Or wait until the "Technics-KN7000 is avalible (later this year) Best of luck with whatever you decide. O-BTW , Welcome to our corner of the web!!

Hi JerryM

Like Professor Joad used to say:-
"It all depends on what you mean by 'which should I consider'"

You should tell us what you want to do with it, professional?,home?,budget?,etc.etc.etc.
Then you will get the correct advice from some very knowledgeable guys and gals.
cheers

Jerry:
this is a re-print of my post regarding my idignation with the 9Kpro (which I just sold) and the PSR2000(which I am waiting to have repaired).
Here are my mayor gripes about both the PSR2000 and 9Kpro.
1) Registrations. Oh my God!!! where were these people when brains were given out? It figures. Now I know why they left all the programming for us to do! Is cumbersome and intricate to save anything specially registrations on both systems, all due to their low Ram.
2) Mixing Panel. What the hell is that!! these people are "magicians at confusion"!
They give me an "inferiority complex" could I be that Stupid? Does this thing help at all during a "live" performance?
3) Parameter Lock. Does not do what its name implies. Lock!
4) Backup. Could they possibly mean "Save" when they say "backup"? How do you save anything? Talking about "language Barrier".
5) Manuals. left out many important details on many important functions as in Step recording, on the style Creator.
6) RAM. "Embarrassingly" low when you consider how cheap memory chips are now a days.
7) On the 9Kpro , I still can't get it to playback Midi files channels 1-16 from Cakewalk Pro. Something I’ve been able to do with the PSR 2000. For more on my post go to:http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/Forum37/HTML/003296.html
For all is worth.
