I know it's a really old keyboard by today's standards. Is it worth it?

Despite having a nice feeling keybed with velocity and aftertouch, and a decent speaker system, I'm afraid the PSR-7000 is a bit of a dead duck. The subsequent PSR-8000 was far superior in both styles and sounds.

Ron, I might have most of the styles for the PSR-7000...let me know if you want them.

I agree with Ian, the jump between 7000 and 8000 was quite substantial. I wouldn't use a 7000 at all today whereas an 8000 would still play nicely by today's standards, I would use one still, it was way ahead of its time.

I use some of the 8000's styles on my T3 & s950 all tweaked as they are that good! For example the Clubdance style that originated on the 8000 has filtered across on every single model to date! There might be a few others like that too.
