WOW! This new beast is amazing! I have had my New Abacus Duo pro keyboard for 4 weeks! I have the peal white version and have just recieved Version 4 operatinf software. The new version includes 128 new sampled sounds, New styles, New realdrum styles, Mixer and reverb system! also there are a whole lot more enhancements to the instrument. I'm so amazed - the Wersi long wave multi-samples are stunning. and the fact that you can now load in whole WAV drum kits its fab too! So new drum kits don't rely on internal sound generators like the old keyboards used to! God i'm so amazed.

P.S. Can't wait to upgrade the windows OS on the abacus to XP! Does anyone have any good Orchesteral Flute samples in Akai format or Giga sampler format? P.S - willing to pay!

Hi Robertwersi,
I`ll trade `ya my PSR2000 for your Abacus!
hahahaha
That must be some KB !!
O-BTW, Welcome to our family and the best corner of the web !!
You could not have found a better place to `"hang your Abacus" (and your hat !! )

Robert,

how about posting some Abacus MP3 demos so we can hear the syles and sounds?

Yeah that's a good idea.. Post some demos for us... Everytime I see that board I start salvating on my keyboard.. This is one of those boards you can't walk by in a music store and not touch.. Its look alone is eye catching

Hi guys,
thanks for the warm welcome to the board. How is it possible for me to post the mp3s and pics? I got a real nice one of it. My Abacus cost me £7000 - quite a lot but it has all of the options and i'm real proud of it. Alternatively - I can email you all mp3s and pics. - P.S. The review that you linked to was a review of the "Prototype Abacus" about 2 years ago. It was only running version 2.25 - now they're on Version 4!

Hi Jedi,
Yep - thats the one on the Wersi Uk website. if you want some demos - just email me or could u tell me how to post on mp3s?

Maybe someone can post the MP3's on a website somewhere for us to here? anyone?

Robert:
Welcome to the forum. Wow! this is some keyboard. I am in the market for a new one and you certainly have awakened my curiosity about this excellent (but very expensive) machine. However, it has so many more features than the average kbs in the market like the Windows based OS and the CD drive among others. Is this a machine one that you would use for "gigging"? I would be a little apprehensive about it. How much does it weight with the optional speakers? and do you know what the basic model would be selling for in the US approximately?
Anyway, congratulations and use it in good health
