Hi Bill,
I've been quiet over the past months doing lots of deliberating over my bank balance, as one does but hang it,I've told my son his inheritance is going down and exchanged my Yamaha9000pro for a Tyros and I'm now deliberating over the Manual, which is light reading compared to my bank statements
I met some of the designers at a meeting at Yamaha UK HQ and suggested among other things, that they make the manual as a ring punched file so the pages fold flat and stay flat as we try to make sense of them!
I don't think you will disappointed if you decide to buy a Tyros as a companion to your 7000.
However,I'm a glutton for punishment ( and fickle,fickle with my keyboards as Granpa Doug commented a while back )and I've just exchanged my KN6500 for a Korg pa80 Elite so that's another manual to get my head round (but it is ring bound ) The styles and voices are great (IMO) and it comes with a HD,Vocal/harmony board,Video output board,crossfading dual sequencer and multitasking for the same price as a 7000.
I've sent a few tunes and sounds to Bepop for the e-mail list as a finale to my Kn6500 (not best heard on 7000 )and guess I,ll be saying farewell to you friendly guys on this forum but no doubt hope to see you around on the General forum (when I get my headout of the manuals )
Best wishes,
Derek.
