Wouldnt it be a nice surprise if Yamaha slips in the "New" S900 replacement!!.....if they follow suit the release of their NEW Mid level Arranger which would incorporate many of the Tyros 3 features I'm sure.

Won't be long.....anyone going to Winter Namm have an eye open for this ok?

Be very interesting for sure. Yamaha slipped in the S550 to replace the S500.., and did it quietly too.

Squeak I hear ya......Oh man & if they follow suit and it's "BLACK" too I'll buy one immediately even though I was getting one no matter what

Ohhhhh man..., the current S900 would look amazing in black! I think Yamaha did a great job on the cosmetic design of the new S series. Even the PSR-3000 was a leap in cosmetic appeal compared to previous models. Very sleek and well laid out.

No replacement for upper end arrangers from Yamaha at this NAMM show. Only replacements for lower level arrangers will be shown.

Well then Lets hope for Summer Namm 09

George if thats the case The AUDYA should steal the show next month at Winter NAMM?

Yamaha won't release any major keyboards at Summer NAMM. They will release a keyboard when it's ready, NAMM of not, like they did the Tyros 3.

Winter NAMM brought the YPG635 and E413 LOL oh and the Motif XS......

If Ketron has a booth in the same place as last year (drum section) not many people will get to see them! They need to get back to the keyboard area!

Glad to see that Donny hasn't lost his AADD, even during the same week he has bought TWO S900's

Always looking for the next thing, eh?

Donny, we love ya'... don't ever change

Just out of curiosity, how long was it after the release of the T2 did we see the S900? Two years or so?

That's probably how long it will take for T3 tech to migrate to the PSR series, wouldn't you think?

My Relaunch of the S900 during this intense Xmas gig session is really working out nicely...it's like coming home week for me.

I'm a Yamaha man at heart for sure.

I seem to be a Roland man, myself, but somehow I don't feel the need to buy every other arranger out there to prove it to myself...

I wonder why that is? Am I luckier or worse off for this?

Hi Diki and all

The idea of any arranger is to satisfy the player, if it does this, then it has performed it task.

Everyone has different tastes, and fortunately there are enough different models out there to suit pretty much everybody.

Age has no relevance, whether it is the very latest or has been on the market for ages, so long as it suits the player that is all that is required.

Diki like many others have found theirs, others are still searching.

Regards

Bill

Does anyone know who sells Yamaha T shirts ?I want to buy a few for myself for Xmas.

I think Fran has a few...

Ian I have all the rest.......

Fran & Yammy is like Vinegar & Oil

I heard he was saving up for a used PSR-2100...

Bill, I guess my only take on that would be that, if you tried and rejected EVERY arranger out there (but returned reluctantly to where you started in the first place), then perhaps an arranger keyboard isn't what you are looking for...

Maybe it's a REAL backup band, that plays everything EXACTLY the way you want it (because you arranged and rehearsed it that way!). Or is that too old school?

Sometimes I feel we all expect just a BIT too much from these keyboards. They are, after all, mere machines, trying to accomplish something that in the past took talented players and talented arrangers (the human kind!). They can get you close-ish, but they'll NEVER get you all the way there. If that's what you are searching for, I think you may be doomed to perpetual frustration.

How 'bout this one?

I love it!

Good one, Mike!

Excellent Mike.

Logo should read....

"When you don't use the rest... Yamaha!"

or...."GOT ARRANGER KEYBOARD?"
