Hi Heinrich,

short remark to the Fill-Ins: the PSR 9000 has 4 (four!!) Fill-Ins and 1 Break - you described a nice feature what I appreciate in the PSR 9000: if you hit "Fill-In Self" (with the circle) you get various Fill-Ins depending on the current variation (you get Fill-In A - Fill-In D). If you hit "Fill-In Down" or "Fill-In Up" the same Fill-Ins (A-D) are used but in another order (user manual, on the page 23 is the explanation).

Concerning the piano sound, yesterday I again played the X1 for two hours and I take it back, what I wrote in the previous posting. On the other hand I like the PSR 9000's piano better (I like sharp piano better than a mellow). There are many good pianos, I would not say, that the mellow one is more realistic.

Yesterday I also noticed, that the Endings on the X1 are very nice and mostly orchestral and long, but in 75% of the songs they did not suit to the end of the songs I played. The PSR 9000 the endings often are 1-2 measurements long and they exactly correspond to my expectations of the end of a song.

Your question 1: I am not sure, but I know, that the voices and drum kits are in ROM. They cannot be updated by software. You can only load samples (drum samples) into 32 user voices.

Regards

Marek
