I was hoping for something new in the PSR series, but maybe that will come later. Looks like Yamaha "only" releases the new NP-31 and NP-11 mini pianos, and that Karma Labs announce Karma for the Motifs... maybe that is why Kay has been on bad terms with Korg?

Anyway here is the press kit - shameless lifted from the Korg Forums.
Yamaha NAMM 2011 Press Kit

I hope Roland will amaze us all with a new TOTL arranger - or maybe a whole new line of arrangers - but looks like the "G-90" will not be hapening now - this is just rumors. And that arranger module will not be released until summer I heard.

If no news from Roland, looks like Korg has the edge with the new Kronos and PA3X (wasn't that a bit soon for a new PAxX?)

Cheers,

DocZ

Hi Donny,
Why do you think they will announce this feature at all??
Did a little birdie talk to you..or are you hoping only?

A little birdie told me - a PM for Yamaha - that they were planning to show the new PSR line 1st quarter 2011. I thought they would do that at NAMM, but I guess that Musikmesse is a more suited venue for them.

I guess I'll have to wait till March, but I really like that new PA3X - maybe I'll ditch Yamaha... arrg... too much gear to choose from smile

If memory serves the PA2x was released in 2007/2008..I reckon 3-4 years is long enough!!

Especially as each release is a HUGE improvement on the last, not just a couple of tweaks here and there and a couple of patches wink
