English please...Latin is a dead language...much like this thread.

Emoticon-speak, please. Hard to understand when you use long words, Ian...

Actually, PLENTY of comments from Yamaha users themselves about things like the audio styles, no loop audio etc..

Only they don't count, I guess, when you want to make a specious point.

Bored??
Nah... I'm not a Yammie fan (as most of you probably already know), but here is something that sure show something has happened to Tyros.
It sounds better and more live than ever in my ears.



Also a tread Scott Y posted show that organs are good stuff.

Sad that we have to have this senseless bickering. Plain to see why there are wars. It's because people don't know enough to
get along with each other. These forums surely bring truth
to the statement. I thought this forum was for people who were enthusiastic but boy, was I wrong. Lloyd

Yeah Diki, I'm still looking for the post where I said I "despised Yamaha Arrangers", but I've only gone back about 8 years so far; I'm sure it's in there somewhere. I think it's pretty clear what (or rather WHO) is despised around here. I've seen tons of disparaging things posted here about Yamaha Arrangers (none by me, BTW) and NONE ever got the kind of venomous responses as I did to my post which, btw, said nothing bad about Yamaha arrangers, but merely posed the question, 'are some of you maybe a little tired of seeing the forum flooded with one demo after another (which, for the most part, only displayed the playing skill, or lack thereof, of the demonstrator).

Glad Nigel's post brought such joy and glee to Gary, who incidentally, can spend gobs of bandwidth talking about his boat (this IS an arranger forum, right?) with nothing but attaboys, (even from ME). Does kind of make you wonder if it's really the post.........or the poster.

Yea Chas, it's posts and threads like this from you and from Diki that kept me away from this board for a year or more. I've only returned to get information on the Tyros 5, but I forgot how hostile this environment is more than any other board that I frequent.

You go and pick on Gary who I consider arranger royalty; one of the nicest, classiest men to frequent this forum? He can talk about toilet seats for all I care; I'd probably learn something. This forum is about camaraderie and friendship as much as keyboard instruments.

You can have your forum back...I won't be participating here, not because I'm thin skinned, but because I choose to surround myself with positive, creative, nurturing, and classy people who look out for each other and root for each other. Not people with venom in their words.

I'm outta here!!

OMG, you're kidding, right? That's the funniest (and most contrived) line I've seen in quite awhile. Hope it gets the desired effect. If "are you bored yet" incenses you enough to leave the forum, then all I can do is wish you a fond farewell.

"It seems to me that the only folks with Yamaha issues are those that don't own them. Those that do don't seem to have any issues."

Right on Gary!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL

There's a certain anonymity that goes along with these forums that I believe have people saying things to one another that would not happen if they met face to face. I'm a member of a very active photography forum and it's amazing how insulting people get when it comes to the great Nikon vs. Canon camera debate ( I happen to shoot with Canon) There's plenty of mud slinging there too about brands and people come and join then leave the forum because of a thread similar to this, it's not limited to SZ by any means. Whats the difference what camera you use or what keyboard you play if it makes you some $$$ or maybe just makes life more enjoyable.

I've made a number of friends here and communicate with them sometimes frequently and sometimes not so frequently. I'm on the same page with Al aka Kbrkr I got tired of the senseless arguments about what amounts to nothing and although I read regularly for the longest time I decided not to post. It's threads like this that push me away. As far as I'm concerned the only person(s) I need to make happy is my wife and/or myself.......... don't care whether anyone else likes what I decide to purchase or not purchase.

Could it be that the REASON they DON'T own one is that they DO have issues.

BTW, I have a Tyros2 which I've owned for quite a few years now. Does that count?
