Donny: I realize that there may be features you find necessary for your live performance needs...but when I see how far Yamaha has come from from the psr 900 and 700 series, it's nothing short of amazing. The quality of the digital converters has now afforded a much more rich and full range sound. The quality of drums both live and midi are in a different league. I have found that the VH-2 tracks quite well. The Yamaha PSR series may never satisfy everyone's needs...but for now, I'm extremely pleased with the 970.
Compared to the Roland's and Korg's I've owned, along with the issues Ketron owners have stated on this forum, (all of which I know you've owned at one time or another) there aren't a lot of options in this price range.

with workarounds the s950/s970 can be very useful performance tools in the right hands and with the right edits & settings....I've been on stage playing KB's 25 yrs before arrangers were ever introduced!!....and have used them from the early 80's with the my first KORG SAS20 and so many more models thru the years up to todays which are mostly incredible sound and style wise,......but as I always said they need to address player feature needs now not sound & styles. As the MOTL increases in technology the TOTl decreases eventually they will meet in the middle with a price between the two at around $25-$2800 & tons will be sold if they listen and open their ears to what PLAYERS are saying....
hopefully with a few more practical needed features.
