Expectations have rarely been fruitful with Yamaha with their track record. Actually, Yamaha, in the opinion of many, actually has a great track record in fulfilling the requests of players, both home and pro. This is well documented both here on this forum, and others. They may not have acquiesced to all the requested changes, but they would not be in business very long if they followed those guidelines. If you go through the archives and find the Yamaha Listens thread (I believe the title is correct), there is a huge number of requested changes, more than half of which were made by DNJ. Among them, he requested that the PSR series of keyboards be changed back to basic black - they did it. He asked for audio drums and styles, they added them to their already extensive list of midi styles and voices. He asked for a better vocal processor, they provided it. He asked for a better onboard sound system, which was also provided in the upgrades. He asked for unlimited USB storage, which is now standard. He asked for a brighter, clearer display - we now have it. Someone asked for an onboard audio recorder/player so they could record and play wav and MP3 files, which is now standard on most PSR and Tyros models. Donny asked for a change in the shape of the keyboard when he had a T2, which sliced into the carrying case. The shape was changed with the T3. Someone asked for bigger buttons, which were added in all subsequent models. Only a few individuals asked for hammer action, larger keys, which were not added, for obvious reasons - not everyone wants of likes them. There were many, many new additions to the operating system, far too many to list. I don't know of any other manufacturer that has reached out to their consumers in this fashion, and then followed up with many of the changes. As for Yamaha worrying about the competition, I don't think so. They still sell more arranger keyboards and synths than all the others combined. They have been in the musical instrument business for a very long time, they make very high quality instruments, and the demand for their products seems to increase every year. Gary

Gary With Yamaha listening you say, i womder what the Genos should bring us.. Because the current TOTL instruments (Tyros 5 and Pa4x) are near perfect from most arranger players views... which shows in the wishlists, everyone seems to want something different... and on psr tutorial forum, there is a huge group of Tyros owners, that dont seem to have anything to wish for left... Sure, i can make a long wishlist... or even a longer list of possible additions.. but then who but me really wants them?
