Boys!

Am I glad to hear you all agree that the operating system is 'unfriendly'. When I was at Pakefield last year, I remarked that I thought most of the modern keyboard's O.S. are far from 'User Friendly particularly the Tyros keyboards and there was a shocked silence for a moment, followed by a lot of protests at my remark. However, I still think that in view of the way technology has moved on these past few years, particularly in the 'User Friendly' area, I do not understand why the keyboard manufacturers haven't kept up with it. I agree the keyboards themselves have excellent programming facilities which when used properly are 'magic' but they are badly let down by the O.S. and the Manuals (if you can get one) which are often badly written and/or designed causing much confusion as a result people give up on them.

I have to admit that if it wasn't for friendly Forums such as this one, I would have gone back to an acoustic piano or organ, years ago. Through these Forums and the kindnes of it's members, I have learned so much for which, I shall be forever grateful.
