Welcome my arranger friend !
Yamaha USA has been making strides to heal a few customers complaint's . The Style issue has received quite a bit of posting on this Forum .
I personally feel that Yamaha missed a few things with the 9000 series .
The styles on the PSR740 should have remained the focus . The Dynamic groove feature( psr740,730) was easy to use.Having a keypad to select styles and sounds was a plus IMHO (psr740,640,730,630) .
The multipad effects while using "1 touch settings" is better on the 740 .
Yamahas pattern record and pattern storage have been an issue .They did improve this with the 1000 + 2000 . The record modes on the 740,640,730,630 were not easy . Not enough user area's .
I beleive that the PSR1000 and 2000 are very nice keyboards for their price range .
I just miss the above mentioned changes that occured with the 1000 + 2000.
Yamaha is a BIG company . It's important that they keep listening to their customers and retailers ! dano
