Let me add: Without trying to bash 3000 owners, The pitch and modulation wheels on the 3000 are hopeless. I found it impossible to do quality bends with them. I find that the Tyros on the other hand gives great control and realism.

Chony, my friend you are SOOOOOO right about this one. That's why I won't buy the PSR-3000. I too think they are (hopeless). The pitchbend on the PSR-3000 (same as models below it 2100,2000,740) is terrible. You cannot pull off good bending effects with guitar patches on the PSR's. Nice to see the Tyros at least has the better wheels.

Chony, this is a big part of the reason I didn't buy the PSR-3000. I even have the money to buy one now if I want to, but the construction quality and the wheels of the PSR-3000 in my opinion doesn't justify the price tag. If I bought the PSR-3000 I'd have to midi it up to another keyboard for a decent set of keys and wheels. Basically making the 3000 a module However I'm not paying $1,500 for a keyboard that needs to be midi'd to another for decent playability. Also glad to see that someone else here uses the pitchbend wheel the same way I do on guitar sounds
