Often times, I find that factory reps do not really know much about the very products they demonstrate and even give the wrong information. Then whoever hears the wrong information becomes a false prophet against one’s will. It is amazing how the Yamaha rep could tell you such misinformation when the YC can actually send and receive so many CC messages from every single button and slider as in the data sheet. In fact, I am surprised that YC is so capable as a midi controller.

Checking the ol' wallet CAN have a sobering effect on gearlust, unless, of course, you're just stirring the pot for the sake of stirring the pot. Boredom can drive that too. In any case, we patiently await your next great, sometimes latent, discovery. Hey, if you're really that bored, you can always pay me a visit; I've got lots of toys. It'll be like Trump and Pelosi .

Your BFF,

PS: If you answer this within the next 5 minutes, I will win a $5.00 bet. Seriously!! (so let's get a move on ).

Thanks for clarifying the issue, Torch. You are right on the mark. One of The Four Agreements, "Don't make Assumptions" applies very well in this case,

The instrument is a little gem.

HaHa! There's five bucks you've blown. Coulda put it towards a new accordion. :):)

First and foremost I don't discuss politics with anyone,........
that said, you will probably be waiting a long time,
...as I said, I am cured & cautious.
Happy to a point with my S670 & now "clean studio"
now that all the dusty gear I bought, traded, etc, is gone...
except for my computer, laptops, tablet,
and DAW recording programs, speakers, mics, headphones, etc,..
sorry you lost the bet...have a GREAT EVENING.

Donny, I wasn't discussing politics (I do that at The Bar), I was just trying to get a SMILE out of you (boredom seems to have you a little on edge lately). If it makes you feel any better, I am a worst offender than you 'cause I tend to KEEP all the crap I buy on impulse (usually influenced by Fran, DonM, and Uncle Dave ).

The truth is, I wanted to see if I could keep you from posting for five minutes; guess what? It worked.



All in fun.

Yeah, that's on my 'bucket list'.....but I'm sort of hoping I die first .

Chas, I am at peace with myself at this time.
After all the thoughtful discussions and ideas
which really makes sense, and with the mention of
garage band which I forgot I have on my iPad.
Played with the GB app a bit Organs, Pianos, EP, etc,
they sound great, so do my VST's on my DAW programs....
and then realized that I don't need any of it
or any new other gear then what I already have for my needs.
Oh yeah my bar days are over I don't smoke or drink.

Donny, I meant the SYNTHZONE BAR. I don't smoke or drink either and haven't been in a bar since I stopped playing in one (a Jazz club really) several years ago. I'm glad you've found inner peace; that's something we all strive for, I guess. But the question is, can one be at peace and bored at the same time? Seems to me that if one is still bored, they are still striving for or looking for, something. I'm sure that's the case with me. Oh well, I guess we have to follow where the path leads.....or do we?

Take the road less travelled ...
