I wonder if there is a sound module more suitable to the new age or sound track kind of music. I have the psr-3000 and would like to use it with a sound module. Any comments is well appreciated. Thanks a lot.Telmo.

Look at the Triton Rack or the Motif ES Rack. There are some excellent add-on patches you can get for world/ambient/sound track music.

Because you already have many excellent Yamaha sounds, I would suggest a Roland module, possibly the XV5050 or similar. I understand there is a new FantomXR module too.

I second the above suggestions:
Motif ES rack, Triton rack and Roland Fantom XR are the hottest modules at the moment, not only for New Age music.

I forgot to mention a major point with the Yamaha ES Rack module, it does not have SAMPLING capability, so I'd personally avoid it.

I also hear the Roland Fantom XR is an excellent choice.

I'd suggest the fantom rack too. Primarily because it's also a sampler

Fantom XR would be perfect for soundtrack kind of music. Especially, if you install some of the expansion boards like complete orchestra and strings board.

Motif and Triton are more geared towards dance type music.
