In the discussions so far about the PRO 9000
(and not only the 9000 as I might include
Technics and all) it has struck me that no one seems to be bothered by the lack of "touch sensitive " arrangers, by which I
understand the possibility to give positive and (with Roland e.g. ) even negative values
to the Arranger parts (drums, bass, arpegg.)
thus greatly enhancing the "expression" of the accompaniment. It was already included in the then famous Roland E70 and has been
maintained all along the Roland flagships
(to the best of my knowledge). Solton had it,
Solton has it, and so did most Technics up
until the KN3500. Yamaha dropped it with the
heralding of the PSR8000 and I have now been
given to understand by a Yamaha spokesman overhere that the PRO9000 in this respect will not differ from the original 9000. For
a "professional keyboard" many of you are alreay claiming to be setting an example for
the next generation of keyboards to come, I find this rather distressing. Or don't you ?!
