PSR 3000 still sounds just as good as any arranger kb Yamaha has made Release Date : 1/2004
The PSR-3000 was one of my favorites...I owned two of them, because at that time, I was playing several nights a week, and it was nice to have one set up on the stand in my music room, and one in the gig bag ready to go. It's also wise to have a back-up if you are gigging a lot.
Never had a problem with either of them, in spite of a lot of use, and both were sold and are still going strong with new owners.
The addition of the
mega voices on the PSR-3000 were what attracted me most...those, and the wicked overall sound, which is very balanced, detailed and
almost CD like in quality, although, I did find it excellent for even
dance gigs, where drums/bass were more predominant. I had a set of registrations that were made just for those occasions.
I believe Gary Diamond still uses a pair of 3K's, and I can't say I blame him, as they are wonderful all-round arrangers.
