Just wondered what Arrangers Everyone Owned 10 years ago? How different would you say Arranger are to what they were then ?

For me its was a Psr9000 and Gem Wk4

Hey MusicalMemories,

10 years ago I was using a Korg Pa1x. One year later I bought my first Tyros which was a T3 and got rid of the Pa1x. I still have a soft spot for the Pa1x though, the design was so classy and the built in speakers and amplification was very powerful indeed. Still would be a great keyboard to use even today.

PA1x Pro and Tyros II. Still have both.

Everyone that was available at the time period...

Wersi Abacus, exactly the same as I have today, as there is nothing that has come about that does what the Abacus does. (Although things may be changing)

PSR-3000 and Tyros II - both gone these days.

Oh, good times!

Roland E60.

Among the very first ones who got it. I think I was probably among the first 50 maybe 100 buyers.

I kept for a while and I only gave up when one of the keys started to lose touch response...

I loved it.

I used a Technics KN7000, Yamaha PSR s910, Korg Pa800,and Kurzweil 2500

Roland G70 (still have it). 13 Years and counting.
Roland G1000. 11 years.
Roland E60. 3 years.
Roland VA-7. 2 years.
Roland E-600. 2 years.
MediaStation X76. 10 years.

I don't remember if it was exactly 10 years ago, but should mention ..
Roland Prelude. 3 years.
Roland GW7. 1 year.

I also had the Korg PA800 (from Tim), was that ten years ago? 1 year.

Probably still with my psr s9000 pro and Gem sk760

I think it was

PA800, Psr1500, Ketron. SD1+.

Only one left is the Pa800.

A pair of PSR-3000s (one for backup that was never used on the road).

How nice we named almost every arranger on the market back then... Lol

Even more weird, I still have the same 3 brands in some manner shape or form. Haha

Wow, I just realized I started playing arranger keyboards and joined this forum 10 years ago!! It was a Tyros 2. Where did the time go?!?

Sadly, fleetingly. Haha

PSR-S2000... and I still have the darn thing... floppy disk and all, tucked under a bed in a box somewhere... LOL! I Stick with Yammies 'cause I'm a slow learner and they don't seem to make radical changes when a newer model arrives on scene.

Somebody I know would just call me lazy... and they would be 100% correct.

Looks like old man winter has arrived here in West Mayberry a month early. Makes me glad I can't play golf anymore... well, sorta!

Yeah, Rikki... time flies when you're having fun!

Gem Arrangers were great, styles not so good, but you could layer some really big sounds. I've still got mine but needs an inverter.

Possibly the Technics Kn6000 ...
Not exactly sure when I switched to the KORG Pa600, then Pa900 ...

First AKB circa 1992 (?) - Technics Kn1000 - with a floppy disc drive ...

PSR 740. Still got it!

The arranger addiction started with a Roland E20 back in the 80'es.
Sold E20, and I was dedicated Technics user for a long time, KN5000 was my last KN and the 'love of my life' regarding keyboards. 😍
If I remember it correctly, 10 years ago it was SD-1 and G-70. Then sold SD1 and added T4, sold G-70 and added KMA, sold T4 two years ago to make room for Genos.
Did not think it would happen, but I like it more and more each day I sit down by it.
KMA collecting dust and is ready for sale or maybe give to grandkids for fun. Lurking for a PA4X-76 to add on top of Genos, but I don't rush it, maybe it will never happen.

Pa2XPRO

Orla kx10 to Korg pa500 musikant from Thomann (Germany). Then pa600 around that time. Ketron xd9 somewhere in there.

This was my first arranger kb early 1980's
Korg's first SAS20

for 20 yrs before that before that I used a
B3, Rhodes, Juno 60 stacked in bands

Started my solo act with the PSR3000. Next up, PA800 and my current love affair for many years - 3X

I've had 'em all.

Two Solton MS-60's, an SD-5, a Midjay, a Roland of some kind.

Still have them. Still use them for film score roughs; not for many gigs.

R.

I still have an ms60

Any demos we can hear?
....it's been awhile since I have heard anything on a Solton MS60....

Its in the attic at the moment with the Gem Wk4
