It's a pain to do and save individually and I haven't done it except for a few of my most-used.
I would also like a little different Registration system.
To answer the question though, I don't HATE anything about it.

I'm with both of you here! If there was just one feature request I could do, it would be global control of the bass and drums. When I do small events, I like to have the drums low, when I do large events and when I play with other musicians, I like them louder!

This thread should help show how "PERSONAL" each and everyone of us is regarding our concerns in a keyboard......Love or Hate aside........& definitely "my KB is the best" should also take a back seat.... somtimes features overide Weight & Keyfeel, other times Sound & Navagation takes a front seat, etc .. but I'm glad expression of needs are posted here which in the future as we discuss gear will further make people understand to BUY/PLAY/USE whats RIGHT FOR YOU ALONE.....which will hopefully result in a happy ending FOR YOU

Yamaha keys are: 21,6 mm
f.i. Roland,Kurzweil or Gem keys are: 22,0 mm like a real piano.

So the Yamaha keys are a little narrower.

Hey Russ,
Just got a letter from tax office that the Honda is now 25 years old, so I don't have to pay road tax anymore..

Fred, I am close to finishing a restore of a 61'Highlander Cushman motorscooter and have just started a 51 Cushmen step-thru. We just located a 64 Honda 305 Dream to restore. My first two-wheeler was a mid-50's Cushman and my first real motorcycle was a 62' Dream. Gotta love "them" Hondas.


yours looks GREAT!

Russ

Only Yamaha's. They are 160mm (6.3 inches) octave to octave. If you've played a Korg Pa1XPRO or Roland G70 you'll notice that the individual keys are 'wider' than those on the Yamaha Tyros/2 or PSR 3000, etc. Korg and Roland have what I consider 'true' full size keys. But nevertheless Yamaha touts the Tyros and PSR 3000, etc. as having full size keys. In their eyes they are I suppose. But a lot of people think otherwise. If you buy a Tyros/2 or PSR just make sure you keep your body weight, including your fingers, in the normal body mass index range because if you let your fingers get chubby you will in my opinion have a more difficult time playing the Tyros or PSR 3000 etc., and hitting the keys without making needless mistakes.

PS: The standard for "modern range" Pianos is mainly 165mm Octave spans and even Yamaha makes their 88 key Hammer Action 'keyboards' with 165mm Octave spans with the Motif ES8 being an example. The problem is getting them to make their synth action keyboards like the Tyros/2 or PSR line with 165mm Octave to Octave spans like Korg and Roland do. So my advice if you own a Tyros or PSR is stay in shape and keep slim and trim - or else.

Best regards,
Mike
