DonM

Don, it sounds like you traded the Tyros for a PSR3000 and a G800...am I close?

Actually everyone , that G800 isn't a bad deal,and it can double as an excelent six zone controller..

Fran, you're not even close!
DonM

You traded your old shoes and a broken 3 iron...right?

You're getting warmer!

Gary

Brrrr....... how do do that ... get warmer???
Brrr........

Kathleen says she would be in a very romantic mood if she wasn't so cold......I'm burning the living room furniture in the fireplace now..

Poor Kathleen ..... she loves that furniture.

A free midi for your next gig, if you can guess what I've done. Not you Gary or DNJ.
DonM

Don, my guess is you now have another back up Tyros...How the G800 figures in, I don't know..maybe you need to sell it for the previous Tyros owner, to make it possible for them to buy a PA1x........How am I doing???

You're a little warmer, but still quite cool.
DonM

I KNOW! I KNOW!

But I am holding out for an MP3

Eddie

Gary D. has a big mouth, and unlimited long distance.
Hint #1--DanO is involved.
DonM

You sold some stuff to Dano and are trying to save up for the next generation tyros, but need some more money, thats why your selling your G800.

How was that? Haha

Phil

Sorry Phil, not close!
Hint #2: See the Synthzone buy/sell forum.
DonM

O ive got this one!

Your going to buy a Ketron SD1 workstation with the money from the G800.

Phil

You are SO close that I'd better confess. I ordered DanO's used SD1. I sold my Tyros locally, and the person who bought it now has a G800 for sale.
DonM
P.S. Hope I'm not making a BIG mistake. I do like the Tyros a lot.

DonM, I sure hope (for your sake) that you didn't make a mistake either. As you already know, I auditioned the SD1 at great lengths (on several occasions) and though I was impressed by the 76 keys & keyfeel as well as its relative lightweight, it's all those exact same sized/shaped buttons lined up in a row & awkward OS navigation that really turned me off. In addition, the SD1's overall sound appeared (to me) a bit muffled and boomy to boot. Interestingly enough, Andrea Rotolo (Dreamer) who had owned an SD1, traded it in for a Tyros. He has stated that he was glad he switched to the Tyros because the Tyros has much cleaner voice samples, but also that the Tyros inspired his playing a lot more as well. Don, considering how much you still say you like the Tyros alot, why mess with a good marriage? I suppose you're looking for a little exotic action, right?. I'm anxiously looking forward to hearing your candid impressions re the SD1. Will this be a whole NEW love for you, or just a brief romp in the hay? Will you be soon crying for your Tyros to come back? Stay tuned folks. - Scott

I have liked the Ketron sound since I had the X1. I have had the Tyros for a year and I usually change about once a year.
Hank the Lurker got a Midjay this week, and hearing it revived my interest. It so happened Dan had a used SD1 for sale, and it so happened a lady had recently heard me at a nursing home and told me if I ever wanted to sell the Tyros to let her know.
Within about one hour, I made DanO an offer, made the lady an offer, and now I'm waiting for the SD1, which should arrive about Friday. I told the buyer here that she would have to wait until after my casino job Monday night to get the Tyros. My net dollar output will be zero.
Also, she has a Roland G800 that she hasn't played much in the past couple of years (she also has a Cascio WK3500). I told her that I would post it for her in case anyone was interested. It is in real good condition.
I know I will miss some of the OS features of the Tyros, and some of the sounds. I also know I will enjoy the 76 keys, the live-sounding drums and bass, and some of the other features of the SD1.
If I don't like it well enough, it will be for sale soon! But I'm counting on my liking it.
Scott, the new OS of the SD1 reportedly has added quite a few new sounds and "cleaned up" many of the older ones.
We'll see!
DonM

Don, I'm betting you won't miss much....except the guitar patches that you are use too on the Yamaha..the rest of the stuff, I think the SD1 is superior....You will let us know..

Hmmmmm, let's see - what will you GAIN?
1) Better vocals
2) Drums with different sizzle(maybe not "better", but really, really good
3) New, fresh feeling that only something "else" can give you
4) 76 keys with superior feel
5) Top notch SMF sound selection and midi playback

What will you LOOSE?
1) Easy, easy, easy navigation
2) Fast SMF playback, with instant drum remix (SD1 comes close here)
3) Instant, easy resale to thousnds of buyers worldwide

** Head to Head - these two compete favorably. In Don's case ..... he gets restless after a year anyway, so it won't matter much how they compare. He'll play it - make oodles of money with it, then sell it down the road. That's my boy !

Don,
I hope the buttons are in the right place! I suppose I'll have to buy it from you in about a year after the Tyros II comes out.

Tom

If you're RIGHT about this, and you still end up not liking the SD1, I may be interested in taking her off your hands. Afterall, the SD1 includes my imfamous 'rootless chord' recognition. - Scott

There was a slight shipping mistake, and I will receive the new keyboard Monday. I won't have a chance to look at it until Tuesday.
I'm hoping to be able to play it on the job by Thursday night.
DonM

Yes, I have a great long distance telephone program, and I did talk to Eddie, but did not tell him about your new keyboard during our conversation. Gotcha!
