Hi Goerge

As a kn6000 owner, I always assumed that the "Yamaha's"(9000's etc) where quite difficult to use by comparison to the kn6000.

Anyway George, I have had an offer to get a yamaha 9000 pro - and could have one by the end of the week. What I want to know is: is the Yamaha 9000 pro advanced enough to Part exchange my kn6000 for? (my dealer is asking £1000 +my kn6000 now - although i may have to find my own speakers.). I want good Acoustic Piano sounds, and also good string/Cello/Viloin sounds as well, plus the usual ones too. Are the soloist sounds better than the PSR9000? - and is there any advancement over the psr9000 at all in the Pro version? (I understand it has more ROM (48), so does that mean the Pro 9000 has more - and better samples?. Also what speakers would you recommend (cheapo ) to start me off. I only play at home george, so 40 watts or so would be enough but wouldn't want to pay more than £100 ($150-$160)

All in all - is the Yamaha 9000 pro, a good all round keyboard that can be "professional" without any other keyboard connected to it (though i do have a Yamaha A4000 sampler) I am one of these "one keyboard band" types! - and like a excellent set of sounds all in one unit (never taken to modules - despite my purchase of a sampler - which is slow to use, and I don't use it that often now). If the sampler on the Pro 9000 is good, then I may get rid of the Yamaha A4000 sampler, and use that as a sole source for sampling.

regards


Tony
