Now back to th main topic of the post.

Donny,

Thanks for the update. I do appreciate your opinions on the board. It sounds like it is a definite improvement in sound, and worth upgrading from the PSR3000. The audience will probably realize there is an improvement in the sound of the performance, but will not be able to put there finger on exactly what it is.

Thanks,

Jerry

I also found the review very useful.

I'm one of the crowd who is more midi-files than styles, but when I get a new keyboard I re-mix and re-voice every midi file, because you will never do the new keyboard justice if you dont.

I have found that there can be significant audible differences between the same "bank / program" voice even between keyboards from the same manufacturer. This was definately the case when going from my PSR2000 to PSR3000.

Thanks Donny!

Jerry....

All kidding aside, S900... it is definitly an improvement compared to the Psr3000. & Not because of the SA sounds of which are nice to be added to the pallette if you really knpow how to UTILIZE them CORRECTLY while playing. Although a cute novelty I dont think the Sax Breath or the Guitar Knock are practical in the real performing world, yet some other could be very useful again ONLY IF MASTERED while playing them. I'll know more if & when I can try it on stage where I'm able to EQ & tweak the sound to my satisfaction. Navagation is #1 for me and the RE-addition of the Voc/ Harmony.... Harmony/Echo.....Reg +/- etc is a good thing.

Your on the right track Mac....I do the same thing with my SMF collections ....I have re-tweaked all of them which is almost 300+ for each keyboard I have owned and re-saved them to a folder if ever needed. The proprietaries of the sound for the particular Keyboard is very ESSENTIAL if you care about what you sound like....its a lot of Homework but when completed its well worth the effort for sure for you & your audiences.

Good Luck!!

Michael Bedesem's Midi Player program can take care of the midi files and does batch conversions in seconds. Check it out.
