I can't wait to get it unpacked and set up. After I play with it for awhile, I'll write an initial report. Then after several days of setting my registrations, ect, I'll do a more comrehensive report. Till then...........

... ENJOY IT ...

Congrats Joe ......enjoy it ......keep us posted with your "ramblings"

All I can say so for is it's a keeper! It's been a long time since I've had a new board. The demos alone blew be away. There is so much cool stuff on here. And also a lot of the familiar from by old board. Because I'm so busy for the next couple of weeks, it's going to take awhile to set it up for my needs. But that's going to be fun. This is good!

Hi Joe,
When I got my S950 I tried all my old gig setups from the PSR3000 and behold they all worked just great. I then tried my T3 setups and they too worked but on some songs a OTS was missing. Then I went to my T4 settings and again they played but needed OTS tweaking on many of the songs.

So far I have used it on about 10 gigs and I have no complaints and everyone seems to enjoy it's sound.

Lately we haven't heard of any complaints about the display and the viewing angle from a sitting position, so I assume this is a non issue?

Joe...have fun

Larry,
It was a lot said about really nothing. Yes, it is true the display could be
better but in all honesty it has not bothered me at all either at home or on gigs.
I sit when I play - no problems so far with it.

If you think about it, if you are basically a player as opposed to the person who thrives on changing everything the display becomes a non-issue. It is true the display for the mixing console is not as easy to see from an angle but is very bright from above it.

I love my S950. Can't keep my hands off it!

Deane, when you are using your old gig setups, are you honestly hearing much difference? One would have thought that, until you edit them to be different styles, or using different drum kits and lead sounds, it ought to sound identical?

Diki,
it has been nearly 4 years since I had my PSR3000 so it is hard to answer your question with any reliability. That said, nearly 100% of my setups from the PSR3000 plays "as is" on the S950. When I look at the OTS voices being used
the keyboard always seems to find the right ones for the songs. Now with my T3 and T4 setups that is not the case and I have to add OTS voices. The accompaniments are pretty good with the T3 and T4 setups without having to mess with them.

I have told several people the S950 is much like a PRS3000 on steroids.
