As much as some of you may not want to admit it, Chas does make a valid point. From all the years I have been a member here.., from what I can tell.., it's not the players here who outgrow their keyboards, rather they get bored of playing their SAME routine on their keyboard. Then the new lemon fresh model comes out and they flock to it just to play their same routine, barely scratching the surface of their arrangers capabilities.., and then they just wash rinse and repeat over and over.

The truth is that an original Tyros (even by today's standards) would be more than sufficient for the performing OMB. The sounds are there, the styles certainly capable of meeting today's arranger players need (ie: choc full of good o'l oldies-which honestly can be said for ANY brand of arranger).

If more players actually dug into their arrangers features AND learned to use them, I think we'd be seeing a lot less people flocking to those preorders. Hell my PSR S700 (circa 2008) in the right hands can shake up a crowd. IMO too many people seem to think a few new sounds and styles will make them a better player, when in reality they'll find themselves bored again playing their same routine and.., well you know how the story ends ;-)
