Uncle Dave, you have to remember that Tom has a permanent tougue in his cheek. If you think we use the needle here, you should see my private mail!
Paul, thanks so much for taking the time to give us your ideas. I have arrived at many of the same conclusions, particularly on e.q.ing the individual style parts. I wish I had more "quality time" with my keyboard, but it is seldom at home. I suppose the only way to save the style changes is by registration, or by creating a new style. At least I don't see another way.
This aspect was first brought to my attention when I loaded a setup from my old PSR8000. The styles I had saved sounded better than the ones on the 9000, and it was because I had adjusted volume levels, effects and e.q. and saved to reg.
Exchanges of ideas like this are what we should concentrate on more, rather than arguing about which keyboard is best. (anyway we know it's the 9000.)
