Fran,

I would send you the tuned style file, but you don't have a way of playing it on your Roland.

Cheers,

Gary

Golly, you're kidding! Man, time flies. I'm still goofing around on a psr2000. Someday, I will grow up.

Bill,

That PSR-2000 was, and still is, one hell of a machine. There are lots of them still out there working, including Hank B's 2000, which has a drinking problem. Hank says even after a couple loads of vodka doused the electronics it continues to perform very well.

I'm still waiting patiently for a Tyros3 to show up here so I can get my aging fingers on it. And, if I like what I hear, plus can handle the additional weight and bulk, I just might dump one of my PSR-3000s at a bargain basement price. I'll let you know.

Gary

One person's rubbish is another person's life saving treasure.

Probably a good reason to recycle.

As I said, I will not mention the ****** **'* ***** again, but I will say that I was not the only one to hear the issue I spoke of...my friend Jimmy's hearing is pretty acute, and I may not have picked up on the discrepancies without him first pointing them out.

Once he did, they stood out pretty clearly.

To be fair, I can't remember the name of the piano we had selected, it was definitely one the main pianos, either the Grand X or the Stereo Piano.

I remember we both agreed that it did not work well with styles because of the middle's unevenness.

It's frustrating not to have access to the instrument in question...I would be able to pick out the particular piano very quickly, I would record the section and post it, so you could judge for yourself what we heard.

Ian

Yep....they sure do Gary

Semibill, I have a DEAL for you.
Talk tomorrow.

I've used the S900 again for the past three nights. It has gone over very well. I suppose a lot of it is because I can move so quickly between songs, genres, sounds, etc.
In other words I'm very comfortable with it.
I even had a couple of regulars finally notice I was playing something different.
They don't seem to care that the rim shot isn't great.
My boss even had something good to say!
I guess I'll keep using it until the Audya convinces me to change.
Setup time is a little quicker since I don't have to plug in the Harmony M or set up the Zoom to record. Also don't need the laptop for lyrics. You wouldn't think that would matter, but it was about 10 minutes quicker.
I like the idea of everything in one unit.
If you guys want to hear some more stuff, I'll post some.

WTG Don.....I knew you'd be back on the S900 its hard to beat ........awaiting your new tunes !

I still like the E50 a lot. I'll just play whichever of them suits me when I wake up in the morning.
Where's my Audya?
DonM

Good grief! All this utter nonsense, and you don't even know which bloody piano in the G70 you are talking about? They are completely different, not the same samples at all (and the E50/60/80 have two completely different extra pianos as well as the G70's).

And yes, I'll even go along with the Stereo Piano being rubbish (or uneven, if you prefer!). I NEVER use any other piano than the GrandX unless I need a honky tonk. I hate the Stereo Piano. I hate nearly ALL the pianos in the G70 (I'm REALLY picky!)...

But the GrandX is the poo... Listen, I record at studios where they have Ivory, heck they even have a REAL Steinway. And the producers and engineers prefer my G70 on quite a few tracks...

But only the GrandX....

Sorry Ian, but until perhaps you have a chance to revisit the issue, let's put this to bed until you actually DO know what the hell you are talking about. Play the GrandX, and THEN try to tell me about the so-called 'unevenness'
