Perhaps you're right, Diki, maybe I am evangelical in my approach.

I also don't waste my time complaining about what a product needs...I just adapt and find ways to make it work for me right now...not when the manufacturer gets around to it.

PSR improvements?

Many years ago I complained there was no ON BASS on the PSR...even the high end...now, I'm not going to say they did it for me, as there were MANY other clinicians, product specialists and artists that probably wanted it...but it did happen.

As for the present PSR/Tyros there's no doubt a half measure button would be nice, and I have mentioned this to Yamaha several times, but until they do decide to make it real, I find workarounds....I had a special program designed by Michael Bedesem, who took my tiny core idea and made a terrific program for me so I could construct styles that eliminated the half measure problem.
It even converts portions of the style to double time if I wish....very handy...not as cool as dedicated buttons, but cooler in it's own way and it's adjustability.

With so much gear bashing that went on in the not so distant past( I was probably part of it as well), the standard procedure on this forum was to defend your purchase or your favorite brand at all costs...there are still traces of it left over, although I do find lately that things have returned to some form of civility.

Because of those issues(and a few more)I found it very hard to take this forum seriously, and only used it as a means of diversion and entertainment...especially while convalescing.

Maybe, in this improved atmosphere, more(including me) will be willing to discuss what you have suggested.

Again, thank you for your thought provoking post.

Ian
