Look, I'm not a whiner.

When the PSR3000 came out, I was raving. I did complain quite a lot about the absence of Vocal Harmonizer on/off, Effect on/off, and Voice Harmony on/off switches. The absence of these switches makes my job as an entertainer more difficult - plain and simple.

When the PSR2100 came out, one year after the PSR2000 came out, I complained. There was essentially no difference between the two keyboards. There were maybe 20 new voices and that was that. Furthermore, they didn't incorporate the new voices into the old styles - only the 10 new styles that came with the keyboard. The PSR2100 was a lame improvement.

I'm sorry, but with the explosion in new technology, the PSR S900 is a lame improvement. They didn't even fully incorporate technology that is two years old - the voices that are on the Tyros II. They didn't even add the drums that are on Tyros I. They apparently didn't add any new features. They are pretty much saying that the development of the arranger keyboard is over - just add a few voices. Keep the buttons the same, take away a few inputs. Same speakers, same vocalizer, same display, same buttons. Just change the look a bit and add a few extra voices and charge the same money.

Are they doing that with cell phones? Are they doing that with MP3 players? Are they doing that with Tv's? Are they doing that with satelite radios?

Sure the PSR S900 will be a great sounding keyboard. My clients are impressed by the PSR3000. But I expected some innovation and more inclusion of old technology.
