Clif,
How in depth was the voice editing on the 9000 Pro? How many elements per voice could you use to create user voices. Did it allow at least 4 elements per user voice, and could the user edit each element individually and set velocity curves.

Really if you think about it even the Casio MZ-2000 was a "hybrid". That board had an AWSOME synth engine (full editing-up to 4 elements). It even had aftertouch (a feature even the PSR-3000 doesn't have. When it was released it was basically up against the PSR-740 and in quite a few areas the MZ-2000 left the 740 in the dust (ESPECIALLY) in the recording department. The 740 couldn't even touch the MZ in terms of recording styles and user songs.

If the 9000 Pro had a full synth engine then I'd have to agree that the Pro was a "hybrid". Sadly though the pro took some negative hits because "idiot" online retailers were calling it the PSR-9000 Pro, even though Yamaha dropped the PSR from this model.

I even saw it in catalogs being called the PSR-9000 Pro.
