Tony as I have said many times everything reaches a peak...
but something else will show it's face it's the way of the
tech world....

meanwhile who cares?.. you can still play great music with
most arranger kbs introduced in the last 10+ years without a problem if that's your bag. I can buy any model I want but amazingly and unintentionally I have learned a great lesson with this mid level Yamaha S670 and that is ....
It's the "player" that counts.... cool2

I must admit that, having taken my s970 out of my closet, I have new appreciation for Yamaha. I appreciate all my Pa4X and Audya can do, but there are many times I want a different sound, and my 970 sounds very good.

It’s gotta be the player that counts I’ve been using the s970 here in Florida and have received plenty of positive responses from the audiences. I stop and think would the Genos or Pa4x get better positive responses? Maybe, maybe not.

I’ve also been using the Yamaha DGX 560 that is the lobby of the cancer treatment center here, I play mostly piano solo but in recent weeks I have started using the arranger styles in the DGX and I’m a little surprised to hear people are applauding in a facility. Keep in mind most people that come into the center are being treated for cancer, if they aren’t being treated they are there to support a loved one. In other words it’s not the happiest of places but that’s why they have musicians/pianists come in to play.

I am preparing mine for the annual Easter dinner at our cultural center, with about 175 guests. What the s970 lacks in live drums and bass, it makes up for in lead voices and godzillions of styles. I think if I don't try and bring a knife to a gunfight, I will be fine. This is a quieter affair, with all guns left at the front desk.

Bernie just EQ the high end of you drums within the styles
rhythm1/2 to give them some "sizzle" makes a world of difference.
And change some bass sounds to suit also for example: acoustic to finger etc,...have fun.... the S970 ain't no slouch. wink

Agreed,
Plus I turn up the drum and base volume a little,
If they are still weak they get a bass boost too.
Makes a big difference.
