Hi Cam8Neel...

as I told you I ordered my PSR2000 already last Saturday. Before this I check it out and played it for about 2 hours. It's really a great machine with some very special new features in comparision to my old PSR740.
* You can load sound parameters an the fly from disk, not only from the internal memory.
* Cause I'm playing in a band with 4 muscicians, I do not need the ACMP-Functions very often. I'm more interested in sound programming, sound changing with help of DSPs and Sound organisation because we play our set list divided in blocks of four up to twelve songs. For this the sound organisation in the PSR2000 is fantastic.
* Another great feature is the possibility to decide on which voice the Pitch bend from an expression pedal is working. We are playing Country Music...who is doing the Steel Guitar?...It's me. With this keyboard I will get very close to a real Steel Guitar. I will layer two steel guitar sounds, one set to solo sound (only one note playing) and this sound is controlled by the Pitch Controller. This means during playing a C-Chord I can change the Pitch of one tone of the Chord, exactly the way you can do it with a Pedal Steel Guitar.

For me the PSR2000 is the best choice:
* Low Price
* Low weight
* Small dimensions
* Good Sound speaker system
* OS Update possible
* Really good user interface
* Professional design
* Power supply included in Germany
* A lot of fantastic presets (I want to play, not to program!)

I made my decision!

By the way...does anybody know how the pedal of Yamaha like the FC-7 works? Has it a simple potentiometer inside or what else? The reason for my question is, that I have a Roland Expression Pedal and I want to use it with the PSR2000 (maybe the PSR9000 has a similar electronic interface). In which way I have to modify it?

Greetings from Germany
