Originally posted by adimatis: really, the psr's manual is not telling almost anything, unfortunatelly!
All keyboard manuals were written by folks that apparently have no ability to write manuals. Therefore, the best PSR/Tyros/Tyros2 manual is the lessons at PSR Tutorial
1. do you think the sounds are comparable? (matter of taste, i know, but need your oppinion) - i liked the sounds on pa50 quite alot.
This is a bit subjective, however, IMO Yamaha's voices are superior, particularly the guitar, sax, trumpet and piano voices.
2. the styles - are they tweakable as in pa50? can you change their sounds on-fly? how many user styles location for new-custom styles? can the factory styles be changed/saved over?
The styles can be tweaked, restructured, and lots of this can be done on the fly. However, you will have to save the changes as a custom style, or in a registration, in order to have those changes become permanent. You cannot make changes to the orriginal style and have those changes default to the orriginal style.
3. assigning action to multi pad. in pa50 i could assign not only sounds but also some functions to the four pads. can i do that in psr?
Yes, this can be done within registrations, or assigned to custom styles.
4. what do you think about key action/feel compared in this two instruments?
I personally like a lighter action, which in my case is very beneficial because of a hectic playing schedule. The key feel is somewhat lighter than the 50, but not significantly.
5. how's vocal harmonist in psr3000? any good...?
NO onboard vocal processor will be as good as the latest stand-alones such as the Digitech and TC Helicon processors. The harmonies are OK at best, and like all onboard processors, must be tuned and used sparingly.
6. is the difference between psr3000 and psr1500 sooo huge? (pricing pa50 = psr1500) i might consider 1500 for a change.
YES!
7. and one other important thing to me: in the pa50 there was a anoying noise coming out the speakers, but headphones too, even when the volume slider was all the way down. when going the slider up, this noise stop gradually, but is beeng replaced by the other type of noise, the "normal" one that comes with volume increasing anyway. i know this is a problem that also some other pa50 users had. so, my question is, how clean is the outputs of psr? can i record into the computer without having to apply heavy noise reduction?
When problems of this nature are reported, I often find there is something wrong with the grounding system where the keyboard is being used. I have a pair of 3000s and there is no white noise, background hiss, humm or any other noise at any volume level.
i also have some other question, but for more i'll try to surf the forum a little bit!  thanks for sharring!
You'll likely find the answers to all of your questions at the PSR Tutorial's forum.
Good Luck, Gary ------------------ Travlin' Easy
