Where and when were the 4000, 5700, 6000 and 7000 available? Honestly, I've never seen or heard of them before.

hi the 4000 series was a top end studio designed keyboard which you could put programmed disks into it, you can still get the disks for them with lots of pre prog sounds on it or you could programm your own onto.. when they came out i dont know for sure i have had mine for about 2 years ,, i was thinking of becomeing one of those bedroom musions , however im crap at makeing music and it was a short lived hobby..if you go to google and type in psr 4000 hamaha keyboard you will find lots of info..

yeah, I checked Google, lots of info but I'm still confused as to where these kbds fit into the scheme of things?

90's

Cass,
According to this Yamaha "manual library" link, it looks like the PSR-4000 might have been introduced (into the scheme of things) around 1995.

Don't know who/where they were sold though.
Dear answer man (George Kaye) where are you...

hi if your asking me where i am i live in dorset .. i do have the original manuals for the psr4000... make me an offer..thanks ..

I had a PSR 4000 between 1996 and 1998. I bought it brand new directly from Yamaha (stores didn't carry it ... Yamaha in LA had a couple b-stocks laying around) and when I got a PSR 9000 in 1998, I gave away the 4000. The 4000 was the "smaller brother" of the 8000. One of the nice things it had was scroll wheels beneath the screen, instead of the up-down buttons on the other PSRs.

Ozzimo,

Fran likes playing on old antique junk (G1000). Maybe he's interested.

I didn't get to see a 4000, but the 8000 was WAY ahead of its time, and contained many innovations. I could still perform on an 8000 and please the audiences.
It had many features that Yamaha has since discontinued, such as the ability to reassign the positioning of styles and voices on the menu. It also had the Groove feature, the ability to automatically change and save the timing of styles, say from 4/4 to Swing, 6/8 or 2/4, in effect creating totally new styles with the push of a button or two.
This feature was later developed further on the PSR740 to convert all styles with the push of one dedicated Groove button which doubled the number of styles available.
It had the first really useable vocal harmonizer built in to a keyboard.
It was sturdily built yet light in weight.
