Thanks to Frank from Audioworks (Who gave me a great deal) I am now proud owner of a brand new PSR-S970
I bought this KB for smaller gigs where I don't need all the bells and whistles of my beloved Tyros4.
Love the weight and size for logging it around compared to the Tyros4.
Got it a couple of days ago. Transferring my registrations and custom sounds and styles.
So far I am impressed with the sound.
Hooked it up to my Bose next to the T4.
I know folks have compared it to the T5 and said that the T5 sounds better, which it should.
However; when playing the same style on both keyboards with same setting I can't hear a difference to my T4.
The only thing I have to get used to is the new button lay out which shouldn't take long and the softer keys with no aftertouch. Played the Tyros keybed for to long ....
As a guitar player I love the new guitars and DSP's.
Especially the new WahWah guitars ...
Not sure about the DJ styles yet. Very gimmicky.
The new Arpeggiator function looks interesting. There are tons of them.
Something I did not realize before, is that you can assign them to ANY sound. Which gives you endless possibility.
New Audio Styles sound great. Fun to play with. Really nice groove.
New display looks great and gives me the same info as my T4.

Only sad thing is that I have to work all weekend....
No time to play. Grrrr.

Now I know why it sells like hot cakes and I had to wait so long to get mine.
It is a really nice board for the money with lots and lots of possibilities.
I loaded my expansion pack and my custom sounds which makes it like a little T4. Have to tweak my custom styles a little, but shouldn't take to long...

I am a very happy camper :):):)
