For anyone interested I have put up a new Yamaha forum. I have no idea where it will go but it is available if anyone is interested. It might be a good place for Yamaha only related discussions.

Thanks Hammer...I've signed up as well.

Ha ha...Tony...I signed "up" not "off",

SZ is still my first and last (and frequently during) stop of the day.

I'm just curious as to what this new forum will be doing that the Yamaha forum here at SZ couldn't? Or several of the other Yamaha owners forums, too...

I prefer to have to surf around as little as possible to gather all the info I need. I have SZ for cross platform banter, and Roland-Arranger.com for Roland specific info. What more could I want?

I see what you mean Diki, but one thing that I notice about the "other" Yamaha site is that it is so oriented towards British. Not that that's a bad thing but I'd like to have a Yamaha site geared towards American players. Also a Yamaha Spanish language site would be totally cool too.

But we already HAVE a Yamaha forum here... It's slant will depend on who uses it.

I admit, a non-English forum would be a more specialized thing, but when there are already so many English speaking sites up, one more just dilutes the pool.

BTW, anyone know why PKOwner is closing?

Yeah, that's true but I got reprimanded for using Spanish at another Yamaha site. Also I used some very common American expressions that some Brithish felt were profain. I really like Brithish people but I guess things can get misunderstood on line.

A Spanish Yamaha site, if one doesn't already exist, would be a VERY useful thing. But another English speaking one? Americans and English seem to get along on the most part OK here at SZ. Whatever confusion (two people divided by a common language!) exists is quickly forgotten.

I signed up this morning--if for no other reason, it adds some diversity, Diki.

Put me in coach!

Thanks, Dean for sharing this with us.

Dave Rice

Thanks guys - who knows what will become of it. I guess that is up to those who sign up.

Hammer

Really? How about English and Canadian? You still consider yourself English, right?

chas

Thanks Dean,

Count me in, just signed up! I think YPKO is closing so nice to have a replacement. LUV my T4!

Thanks for shaqring
Don P

Certainly with YPKO's closing, as DonPatt said, it will be great to have a replacement.

Just don't let the negative people make you feel discouraged...I, for one, am glad you took the time and effort to start another Yamaha forum.

I will recommend it to my new Tyros and PSR clients.

Thanks Hammer.

I have added the URL to http://www.synthzone.com/yamaha.htm

Out of curiosity, can anyone explain why the SZ Yamaha forum is not so popular? I'm still curious as to why a new forum is needed when a perfectly well set up one is already available.

I'm not trying to take away from anyone's endeavor, and have no stake in this. Just curious as to why the NEED for another forum, when they already exist.

Hi Deane...
You and your wife were very kind to me when we met at one of DonM's jams in Shreveport...and I have followed your posts on SZ and PSR Tutorial for years. Thanks for the invite. Happy to be (lurking) here.

I think I was the second one to sign up. So far every forum has a little something different to offer and I expect Deane's to be of value to all of us.

Thanks Hammer - I registered too. Always great to find another source of info and (Yamaha specific) discussion!

Tks Hammer.
