Scott Yee?
I wonder what became of Scott Yee, one other SZ member and myself ( that I know of) used to speak with Scott either by phone or email on a regular basis. When T5 was released I talked to him on the phone quite a few times, then one day he dropped out of the picture. I've called and emailed him and never heard back from him.
Anyone else heard from him recently? Steve, it's been over a year since I've heard from Scott...last correspondence was when he sent me a fancy dust cover for my Tyros4. I believe he bought a Tyros5-61 and was quite happy with it. Have you heard anything from Tony Hughes? My last contact with him was on Skype, and that was well over two years ago. I sent emails and tried contacting with Skype but no reply. I think he just shut everything down as far as any Forum activities (here or elsewhere)...if by some slim chance he reads this post, I hope he and wife Linda (and grand-daughter Skye) are doing well health-wise. Last time we spoke he still had the Tyros4 and a Ketron arranger. I'll try contacting both Tony and Scott again today...I'm glad Russel brought this up...it's too easy to let things slide. Ian

Ian how you doing? Still playing the T4? Health is good, other than a few months dealing with a pinched sciatic nerve (very, very painful) which finally responded (and is still responding ) to treatment with pregabalin. Yep, still have the Tyros4 and playing it every day. Lately I've been experimenting more with its internal effects (echo, delay etc.) and still having fun with vocoding using a little Yamaha mono synth (no midi) plugged into the T4. No gigging...I don't miss it...just a few private recording projects to keep myself in the game. Yamaha's SA/SA2 sounds, superb FSX keybed, and somewhat exclusive and very awesome "Freeplay" (rubato?) styles (not to mention a great choice of jazz styles including some ballads that have cool double tempo) has kept me firmly in the Yamaha camp despite other brands having some handy features (i.e. Korg's chord sequencer) and interesting sounds/styles. Still a Yamaha fanboy and proud of it. Ian PS...are you still using a PSR?

I had a KORG Pa3x, S950, S970 then a KORG Pa4x which I miss dearly, and now again a S970 of which is pretty decent with the control knobs,and with some help can sound really good...but the KORG Pa4x still has my musical heart as it's features are just simply amazing for a gigging player/singer for sure,....I'm thinking of getting another one soon too we'll see,....anyway keep in touch with us and good luck with your music!!
