Many months ago on a Technote post I used the term "Techie" in reference to anyone who played a Technics keyboard. It had nothing to do with playing prowess or technical experience. So, would someone playing a PSR9000 be called a "Yamama"?!!

Hey I wonder if a Korg player would be a Korgi, or Soltan player a Soltana

Bill,
Because of your response you probably know this. The first instrument to use the tone wheel technology was the Telharmonium -- back in 1906.

Hey Bud,
I think you have that wrong! A female playing a Yamaha is a Yama-mama! However, I don't have a clue what the male would be called! Bob may be correct with his Yamaticians.

Hi Jazzplayer,

Now that sounds like a match made in heaven! Yama-mama and Yama-bama! Sounds like they might live in a cute little house with a white picket fence and have lots of little Yama-bobos running around LOL

A couple of years ago I bought my KN6000, then did a web search and found Technote's and Synthzone. At that time there wasn't much in the Technics forum on Synthzone. I found Synthzone's General Arranger Forum interesting, but not much there on Technic's either.

Technote's Forum was active but most of the conversation was fighting over whether the Yamaha PSR 9000 was better than the KN6000 or vice versa. Also was a lot of msgs bad mouthing the KN6000. I really wondered what I'd done buying such a bad instrument. Then out of nowhere Alec appeared and started answering questions and helping people. The forum atmosphere changed almost overnight! Started finding out there were a lot of people like me that loved their instrument and we all appreciated the help. There were more people trying to help and answer questions. Please let's keep our "Techies"! I'm using that word in the 'technical' sense.....but then with your definition we're all techies!

I just hope that the newly resurected Synthzone Technic's forum will continue the friendly helpful tradition.

One comment, I do realize that some of the first KN6000's realized had bugs that I didn't have with mine.

Hi All
I thought that all Techies were on "Startrek"
or is that Treckies. Well when I am sat looking at my KN6000 I feel like Captain Kirk at the ships control center or could it be Mr Spock(now there's a real "Techie" if ever I saw one). Beem me up "Scottie"

Regards

Brian
