Yes, and if the sheer number of high quality uploads on YouTube is any indication, the Tyros4 is a winner for sure. Nothing comes close in my opinion, Tony.

miden Senior Member Registered: 01/31/06 Posts: 3354 Loc: The World	Originally Posted By: ianmcnll It's simple for me....I make my own styles...that gets rid of any "boring", if there was any to begin with. That's what Style Creator is for...being "creative" with styles...duh! People who make (record) their own midi files, and play over them are far more impressive in my opinion than those who play over commercially available midi files. Ian Make your own styles??? You mean you "cut and paste" parts from existing styles. That is merely re-arranging existing data, NOT writing your own styles. And in reference to your comment re midi files - yes, exactly as I do it. I make my own!! The only parts I don't do are the drum parts. Always been pretty useless at programming drums. PS: I should have said in the OP, CAN be boring. A few of the Yamaha styles are okay. Sound is still the best feature though of later Yamaha arrangers.

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	Well with the lack of arranger Kb companies left in the game, and not many releases of new gear, Namm shows, Musikmesse , etc, etc, it sure looks like it's really dying out slowly in more ways then one, the young generation isn't interested also,.....it's sad to see a slow death as the home organ generation disappears, but maybe better different things are coming or maybe we'll have to adapt to doing it a different way with other kinds of gear or stick with whats left? ....

Korgman5 Unregistered	Sad but true. The arranger KBs are slow to arrive and interest seems to be leaving both arranger and the organ business. Everyone is waiting for Yamaha to come out with a new board but I am now wondering if this is going to happen. Lloyd

Lloyd Dont be surprised if Tyros5/S970/Pa4x/Pa900/SD7,9, & some low end casios will be the last akb's you see,.....but some will get good prices as time passes on these older units....

tony mads usa Senior Member Registered: 01/16/02 Posts: 14376 Loc: East Greenwich RI USA	Well, considering the fact that the OP on this thread goes back to 2011, and since then we've had kbs such as the S950 and S970, the T5, the Pa4X, the Pa600, the Pa900, SD7 and SD9 ... and others I can't think about, I don't know if the AKB is dying ... things may have slowed down a bit, but I think they will be around after I'm gone, and I intend to be around for another 25 years or so ( I think getting to be 100+ years old will be about right ) Donny, how do you dig these threads up ?!? ... you gotta get out more, my friend ... _________________________ t.
