George: Wow,thanks. You've really managed to pack a lot of great info into a relatively small amount of SZ real estate. So much that I went ahead & printed it out so I could have a more indepth read.

You say that the kind (type) of screen used on the PSR3000 is 'different' than the Tyros'. I'm really curious to hear how the screens are different, other than the fact that the Tyros' is tilt adjustable. I assume that the 3000 includes a contrast/brightness control adjustment, right? One problem with the Tyros (and arranger keyboard in general) is that their LCD screens aren't easily (if at all) viewable outdoors or in brightly light areas. I wondering if the PSR3000's different "new?" screen type will allow you to better view it outdoors.
If possible, can you please go into more detail about the PSR3000's color screen,such as: design type, screen size dimensions, pixel count.

George, this is great, but I hope you also remembered to check to find out 'how many' foot controler' output jacks the PSR3000 includes. Does it have three like the Tyos does, or only two as in the PSR2100?

Does the PSR3000's USB connection support keyboard voice editing via PC software (Yamaha Voice Editor) lilke the Tyros does?

Is this estimated date: Europe, USA, or worldwide?

George, did you get a chance to checkout the PSR3000's exciting new Smart Media (SMC) Card feature? I assume it acts the same way as the optional HD in the Tyros does, and that you can easily access the data in it via 'folder tabs', and that registrations located either in User Memory or on the SMC itself will be able to access files (styles/voices) that are located on the SMC too. Another thing I've been really hoping for is for the Music Finder to be able to access & load styles not only in the keyboard's preset & user memory area, but styles stored on the kb's hard drive, or in the case of the PSR3000, its Smart Media Card. Any chance of this on the PSR3000? George I hope you'll you be able to provide more info on this.

Thanks,

Scott
