Reminds me of the song Ricky Nelson sang Garden Party with the lyrics “can’t please everyone so ya got to please yourself.” Good point too about talent not improving after 55 years, same for me but it’s more like 45 years.

Had korg, ketron,Yamaha,Roland..Thinking about an sd7 as an all in one solution for my needs; wondering about price difference in that and an sd60???

Yet I love sounds on old Tyros 2.. For all the guys that have had t4 and t5, does it still take 7 steps to save the smallest change to a registration (memory-reg#- exit bank- yes-save-ok-yes)??

Easier on psr 970/975?

And of course , can today's motl Yamaha sound as good as yesterdays totl ? Or if not am I better off going with t4/5 for familiarity and to avoid that letdown?

Good post. Changing keyboards and the reasons for changing sound good; and I am one of those that changes keyboards.

What is hard to get past is when I hear a keyboard being played, a keyboard I sold 10 to 15 years ago ---- What comes to mind is, I wish I could sound like that.

For me it’s been korg for many years now.

Certainly wouldn’t say no to a Genos, if hubby offered.

I would not say I'm a brand loyalist. I have a Ketron, Yamaha, and 2 Korgs. Out of the those keyboards none of them really offer everything I'd really like. If fact on some jobs I bring two keyboards. I could get by with just one (probably the Yamaha) but it would definitely be a compromise.

I know the bored feeling......maybe it's time to change the rig? Sell off gear.. Try something new ..
