Thanks Chuck and Nigel for your good wishes.It is Christmas Morning here and there is no sign of the 7000 so back to the 6500 for a while longer. Actually, I am loving the 6500. i have it midied to my PSR200O and play the strings or chosen voice of the Yammie along with the 6500 and use the vocal harmoniser of the Yammie which is also midied to the 6500.so that I can play the 6500 but incorporate the strings and the vocal harmoniser of the PSR2000. It is a bit hard to explain, but the result is excellent. Obviously, Father Christmas thinks it is good enough.!!! Jean Olivia.
