Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	Originally Posted By: bruno123 Donny, We all have different personalities; yours is to get excited about a new keyboard, so what! I owned and sold three Kn7000 � I now own my fourth Kn7000. Part of the problem, if you consider changing keyboards often a problem is this forum; It is not possible (for me) to read and hear about how wonderful the new S 970 is without being tempted. Can you ever forget how excited you got when you were waiting for the FedEx truck to come. Hey, the forum would become a bit boring if it weren�t for people like you. John C. PS, Donny, ya wanna buy my keyboard? (grin) Thanx John....I hear you even though I've been buying gear for so many years it never gets tiring...KN 7000 was a fine KB with a super speaker system, I just didn't care for the sunken keybed I would always hit my fingers on the ends,...the flip up display was a kool design also. Hope your happy as well. Edited by Dnj (02/27/16 12:58 PM)

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	Originally Posted By: tony mads usa Originally Posted By: Dnj I should start out by saying I should kick myself in the head for my finicky and abrupt attempt to sell my Yamaha S970, WTF was I thinking? Today I said to myself let me sit down and dig into what this S970 can really do and I am pleasantly finding new features I didn't know were there. As I am always trying to downsize my rig and travel to jobs with as less as possible to perform with and setup. So I did some experimenting and I am so happy that when I plugged in my laptop to the S970 AUX input I found that I can using the LIVE CONTROL knobs I can assign one knob to control the Volume of the songs played from the LT & one knob to control Vol of the MIC BRILLANT!! This in turn will let me eliminate my mixer as i also have dug deep into the MIC Effects to find a usable solution to singing thru the KB and when needed using the VH2 harmony... both are pretty acceptable vs my previous S model arranger KBs in the past or any PSR.. I will also say the speakers in the S970 after much testing are definitely better the my old S950, why I don't know but I do know what I'm hearing . I'll dig deeper when I get some more time.... So for now I'm a very Happy Yamaha S970 player Thank you for listening. And Gary would say "I TOLD YOU SO ... IT'S BEEN THERE ALL THE WHILE" ... Yes Tony I can hear Mr Wizard now on the phone telling me WTF are you doing!!!! But as you know us stubborn Sicilians have to find out the hard way...

I expected the usual 'pushback' anytime I post ANYTHING...just not from you. So what? I should just join the usual chorus of "Oh Donny, you poor thing, I feel your pain". Hey, I'm sympathetic to the first two or three "same ol, same ol" repeated mistakes, but not the next ten. And yes, I do read a few of DNJ's posts; if I didn't I'd have to skip over 90% of the forum....just sayin'. I've heard members called out MANY times on this forum without so much as a whisper, sometimes justly, sometimes not so much, but if I, me, chas, decides to 'call BS' on someone, out comes the 'Wrath of God Squad'. All I'm asking is BE CONSISTENT; just treat me the same as everybody else. Have a nice day. chas _________________________ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." [Nietzsche]

Not what does it sound like, or the cost (altho� important)----but, how much does it weigh and how much stuff do I have to tote to still provide a good product!
