Well, I picked up my PSR-9000 from my local music store yesterday. I played it from about 4 PM till 2 AM (yeah, tired today). There's only one word to describe it -- AWESOME!!!!

The new sax voices are incredible (it sounds like Kenny G. is playing live right beside you). Flute voices are just fantastic. If you like String voices, you'll love Ocean strings, heavenly strings, King strings, and many, many more.

Every voice I tried seemed to have something unique about it. I have to say that Yamaha did a wonderful job of sampling and selecting voices. They're so life-like that you can almost see the other musicians as you play.

There's a huge selection of styles. Each style has mutiple variation and the Pads change with every style so you don't sound stale after pressing the pads through a couple of songs.

Well, I could tell you more but all those Solton guys are going to be saying that the X1 is better. Well, here's one thing that the X1 CAN'T DO -- IT CAN'T PLAY 126 NOTES AT ONE TIME. The PSR-9000's 126 note polyphony means that you can fill the air the voices, styles, and rhythms, and not surpass your keyboard's abilities.

I'm glad I waited for the Yamaha instead of buying a second best board -- MAN, I'M HAPPY!
