First of all, as a fellow member of Chinese ancestry (4th generation Chinese-American), welcome to our Synthzone Arranger Keyboard forum.

Virus1, I mean no offense, but I strongly suggest that you CHANGE your name to something else, as the word 'virus' could raise suspcions (from many here) that you might be attempting to spread a deadly (computer) virus. I trust that's not your intention, right?

Which (arranger?) keyboard do you own/play? Perhaps you might change your name to include the name/model of your keyboard, and/or the city where you live, or better yet, to include your actual name.

Do you (by any chance) live near Shanghai? I know there's a HUGE Music Instrument Products Festival held there annually, and I believe co-sponsored by NAMM as well.

I myself own a Yamaha Tyros keyboard, which coincidently, is manufactered in China. Is the Yamaha Tyros (or Yamaha PSR3000) available for purchase in China? I'm especially curious which brands/model arranger keyboards are currently being sold in China. I heard (rumor?) that arranger keyboards marketed in China include a few traditional ethnic (Chinese) instrument sounds (samples), not included in keyboard models exported to the USA. I'm interested in finding out what specific traditional chinese instrument these include, and wondering if it would be possible for me (here in the USA) to purchase one of these 'targeted for asia' market (arranger) keyboards. - Scott

Funny! Welcome Virus1.

In truth, as user names go, it doesn't quite scare me as much as ServicePack2. I haven't yet had the nerve to click that post.

Funny Scott!!

Quasar, I recommend you hold off from installing XP Service Pack 2 until reports start trickling in about its stability or lack thereof. There have already been reports of vulnerabilites, security holes, and software and hardware conflicts with Service Pack 2. Don't be a guinea pig until Microsoft irons out all the bugs and plugs the holes and enhances the compatibility is my advice. And if other service packs on other Microsoft OS's are any indicator, it could be somewhere into 2005 before it's stable, secure - (plugged holes), and bug free enough to download and install. The security holes will hopefully be plugged in the near future.

Best regards,
Mike

Thanks for the advice, Mike and Mike P. That's what the smart money seems to be saying, and I think you guys are smart.

Service Pack 3?!!

Downloading THAT won't be a problem. I'll just test it on my junky old Intel P36 57.44 GHz CPU (with a paltry 25 terabytes of RAM,)so if it crashes my DAW, no big deal.

It's Bill Gates' world, I just live in it.
