I am remembering what Nigel told Tony. If you aren't interested in the KMA, and don't have one, and don't intend to get one, because you don't like the key size or for whatever reason, WHY keep putting it down, since it doesn't concern you?
Could it possibly be to promote the brand that you own?
Maybe it's just a long cold winter and there's nothing else to do?
There are MANY features on current Yamahas that employ technology well over ten years old; for just one, the awful vocal harmonizer.

I'm not "putting it down" Don...I'm merely discussing it's good and bad points just like the rest here. My posts are always within forum guidelines, and if they don't interest you, just skip over.

I have no need to promote Yamaha, and do it no more than you promote the instruments that you use. I love the Tyros4, not because it's a Yamaha, but because it's an awesome arranger...the best, for my needs. I make no apologies for stating what I use and why. Neither should you.

Cold winter, yes, but lots of things to do indoors...remember them?

Visiting SZ discussions is also a nice pastime, and often very amusing.

None that I know of, Fran.

Just get John Smies resources, then we can talk about excitement.
Bernie

Bernie I have them John Smies sent them to me before Christmas. I am amazed at the work John has done.

John C.

Wow, 3 'Johns' in one post.
Which one is whom?

Seeing my name used so freely I take the liberty to butt in !!!

John C (Bruno) is referring to the 2012 Resources for the PA800 which have been received very well by all those who are using them.

I am confident the folks that order my Micro Resources will feel equally pleased with all that is included, as is Bernie, and look forward to their comments , reactions and criticism in the weeks ahead.
I am sorting out the (minor) compatibility problems as regards loading/saving file over the weekend with a friend of mine who unexpectedly received his copy of the Micro this afternoon.
But all should be sorted by February 1st.

have a nice weekend,
John Smies

Now who said I was talking about YOU, Ian?
I'm just here to learn! And occasionally agitate. . .
I'm actually thinking about getting one of those little mini Korgs. If it ran on batteries I would for sure. I would like to be able to carry it into the main dining room where I work and play Happy Birthday at some of the tables. Sometimes I do that with a guitar. My "real" gear is all set up in the Club Room. Problem is I have to hide the guitar or everyone who ever knew a chord wants to take it and sit in.
I caught a disease in Calgary one time, but I don't hold it against you.
Speaking of cold winter, I played golf today and had to take off my sweater. Temp reached mid 60's. I really wish I could play in the snow at least once a year though.
DonM

Don,

It had to be me...I just put together Yamaha, and long cold winter...voila!

When you play in the snow you'll need orange balls.

Ian

PS...its'a balmy 27 F here now (16 F with wind chill)...I'm going to finally have to break out the winter clothes pretty soon.

Actually that was a side effect of the disease!!
Don

But you'll get blue ones.
