I guess the point I have been trying to make is that, while the Yamaha's have got the distribution and sales aspects down pat, the little E60 has been flying under the radar for quite a while.

Just like the S900, it offers things that other arrangers in the same price bracket don't, it has extensive third party and legacy style compatibility, and a degree of customization that puts everything else to shame.

Just because you have only READ about them here, doesn't mean you shouldn't get out and TRY one. 76 notes, under 30 lbs., speakers, good live sound, good live OS, and the best SMF and style editing anyone could ask for...

Only reason I haven't got one is my back is still holding out OK!

If I didn't own a G70..I would gladly use the E-60 as my go to keyboard..

It is an amazing instrument, sound wise, key feel, even the speakers sound good..The make up tools are tops, the SMF playback and chord reads(a measure ahead) are very usable...Super drums too..

And under 29 pounds...


Make no mistake..the E60 doesn't match the power and features of the G70....but neither does any other keyboard..to me..

For the money..I would take the E-60 over anything in it's price range....In fact I did..

You will never see me playing another PSR keyboard ...ever..The feel is absolutely intolerable for me....bad under size keys...and the sound quirks are embarrassing..particularly the drums and harmonizer...Most of my opinion comes from owning the PSR740, PSR2000 and a pair of PSR2100's....I did get the chance to play the other PSR newer models ..PSR3000, S900..and I had the same disappointment..for the same reasons..

The Tyros and Tyros2 has a slightly better key feel to me..but by no means acceptable...

These are just a few comments to put a proper perspective...after the demo link posting..

Adi, a nice demo..showing the clarity of the E-60..

BTW: I forgot to mention..I also prefer the live sound of the E-60 over the S900..


Now where did I put that blindfold..

It's not a blindfold you need...it's a hearing aid....

Just kidding.

You've corrupted poor Donny, and even worse, you have him playing an E-60...have you no pity?

Oh well, I guess we can take solace in the fact that Donny's keyboard romances(naked and otherwise) have a short (but intense) life span.

But then again...maybe this is true love....

Let's hope so.

the tyros is a full blown arranger the e60 is a scaled down modle . I'm a firm believer in buying the top model. Tyro 1 2 or 3 Get an e80 or a g70 or a pa 2x or 1x pro all these borads are collectors pieces. Like a cool strat les paul taylor martin or ibanez

Since the introduction of the PSR/2000/3000/S900 I have been a firm believer in buying the mid-range.

Besides saving me a fine chunk of money at purchase,lowering my initial investment, and increasing my overall playing profit, I have found that these gems have most of what's on the top guns, and everything I need for gigging and recording.

The E-60 is much the same.

There those who need a Lexus, and those who are happy with Toyota.

Just another view.

now, if i only realized when i posted this video that it will end up being seen over 30.000 times... i would've done it better! this demo is not so great, maybe it's even a little bit unfair to E60...

I thought it was pretty good, Adi, and it goes to show you don't need a G70 to sound great.

Bottom line...save $$$ and your back...get an E-60!

Ian

I'd marry those keyboards too if i could support them. I'm a paligamist when it comes to arrangers and any sexy piece of gear. e60 for the 76 keys sexy but why not with all the e80 stuff?... now we're talking bout me gettin' excited. But roland has to too support them with more updates and improvements styles. We need to tell them incesantly.
