Hey guys,
Here I am at home tonight, a 50 year old guy with a new Yamaha DJX II that I just got in today, learning how to use it. With my love for Arranger keyboards, I can't believe this thing. there are 61 keys, but all you really do is trigger parts, loops, scracthing, effects and you only have 10 keys on the bottom of the keyboards to change keys! I am having so much fun and I don't even have to be a keyboard player. My 13 year old son things this is the greatest thing since turntables came back!
Now, getting back to business.............I think having the plug in boards to add needed polyphony will be great from Yamaha. I just wish they offered more boards like the rolands do for their XP80's, etc. More orchestral, or more specific for different genres. I also need to let you know that i've lost count with how many X1's I've sold these past almost 2 years, and i have had very few customers have any problems at all. I just loaded the new operating system in all three of my store floor models today, and they are working great, and according to Italy, numerous little bugs, that might have occured have been cured with this software. Also, for the guitar and accordian players, they have added new features to enhance the playability of the product. Sorry, got to go and figure out this DJX II thing. Hip Hop anyone?
