Hello friends.

Middle of december.
It's time to elect the "Oscar" of keyboads and the "fiasco" too.
I think that the "Oscar " goes to Psr 3000, a great bang for buck , despite some limitations.
The "fiasco" of the year goes to Roland that sold an unfit product (G 70).

Yep, the 3000 definitely gets the award this year.

PSR3000 appears to be the keyboard of the year, unfortunately. I say that because a 76-note "PSR3000 Pro" would've won easily if such a thing existed.

The fiasco of the year goes to Yamaha for producing a new PLG piano card, the PLG150-AP, and producing voice data to go with it for every PLG-compatible keyboard except one: the 9000 Pro. Why does Yamaha continue to single out the 9000 Pro like this? Yamaha reps then made asses of themselves trying to dismiss this omission. They damaged their credibility with this incident in keyboard forums across the web... even non-9000 Pro owners took note. The further divergence of Yamaha's "synth" and "portable" keyboard departments this year not only made the situation with non-support for the 9000 Pro worse but also made the chances of a new pro arranger coming from Yamaha even less likely. After the way they've crapped on 9000 Pro owners, who would trust Yamaha to support a new pro arranger anyway?

Based on what? did you have the change to try it out already?

My opinion is a total different one. My Oscar
goes to the G70 and I see not one of the
latest keyboards for a fiasco.

there was a lot of praise for a new board to be released by liontracks mediastation,it seems no-one on this site has one so maybe they should get the fiasco award,mike

Hey, you can't give out an oscar and "fiasco" when only two keyboards came out the whole year!!
