Me too Dave.

Last night I went to bed, and dreamed I was awake!

The night before, I went to bed, and dreamed I was in a car muffler shop.

I woke up...exhausted!


The 9000Pro is a great board...a friend of mine in nearby Sydney has had one for years. Very nice action, but a little heavy to lug around, so he keeps his set up at home, and gigs with a Tyros3.

Lots of styles for the 9000 at PSR-Tutorial.

I plan to do the same ... it sits home and triggers a Roland JV1010 with the vocal board - I LOVE it.
Should I get the PLG150AP piano board? Are they up to snuff with the latest stuff? Is it worth it? I have the DX board installed already, but there is an open slot .... hate that. Gotta fill it!

Not sure about the PLG150AP board...my friend Johnny's 9000Pro doesn't have any boards installed. He uses his sometimes on stage, in a trio setting, and being the former on road piano player for Glen Campbell for several years, he's tickled having that extra bit of keyboard real estate.

He's playing it in stereo through a Stagepas 500...it really sounds great.

I thought I saw someone raving about the piano board on the Keyboard Corner forum. It's probably a good investment if they are still available.

this site in Poland is already announcing the upcoming release:

I'm wondering id the sounds are really updated over what's inside the 9kpro already. they are pretty good - the weak link in that board was the drums - they've improved so much since then, but the classic sounds will always be usable .. the Rhodes, DX, organs etc .... they all rock and the keybed is FANTASTIC. That's why I have it in the studio controlling my piano sounds .... I really like the keys.
Can Esh or someone comment on the AP piano sounds?

It will be awful if these teaser pictures and specs are totally bogus.

Next thing you know, someone is going to start a rumor that there is no Santa Claus...

I can only take so much disappointment.

Now that you mention it, I think it was Esh (Jim) who made the positive comments about the 9K's Piano Board on Keyboard Corner.

Ian

I found some bad news about that board - it doesn't work fully in the 9000 pro. It was Jim's post long ago that confirmed that. I might put the DR board in it to improve the drums ... that'd be a better move for my use I think!

9000 pro was a nice keyboard I had one 10 years ago I liked it a lot it was the last 76 key arr made by Yamaha until now .
