After hours aand hours browsing the internet in order to decide what to buy I finally want to ask this forum for advice.I am not a pro keyboard player but I'd love to start learning how to play like one. I want to use any new keyboard in conjuntion with Cakewalk and my pc. It would be my first arranger keyboard I have. So which one suit me better, Technics KN2600 or Yamaha PSR3000 ? Please give me some advice or opinions...Thanks a lot...Fathan

No contest--the PSR3000 is tons better. Technics no longer makes keyboards and the KN technology is several years old now.
The 3K is undoubtedly the best bang for the buck in all arranger-land.
You can do a search on this forum, or go to the PSR Tutorial site and get all the info you would ever want about the 3K.

The KN 2600 is certainly not a bad board. But, I have to agree with DonM and Gary. Another added plus for the 3000 is all the resource info available from actual users who are so willing to share their knowledge.

For sure go Yamaha. Forget Technics. There're all done with.

I had a KN2600 and I can honestly tell you it really sucked. Awful tone. No where's close to the PSR2000.

For me it was a big waste of time. I sold my 2000 to get the KN. I have since sold the Technics and am looking to get another PSR2000.

The PSR3000 ought to make you VERY happy.

I just got my 3000 and although I never played the Technics, I'm very glad and happy about my choice of the Yamaha 3000...

Hi ,
I've been a Technics fan since 1989. Unfortunately they stopped making them last year. Due to those circumstances,if I had to choose now, I'd be buying the PSR3000.

best wishes
Rikki

Dear all
Now I am sure that Yamaha would be the right choice for me. I considered KN2600 because the seller tried to convince me it better than PSR3000 for a beginner like me. I doubted his judgement cause he is "the seller"(who might think what is the best for him not for me).But you are all just trying to help me sincerely. Thanks a lot guys.... Fathan

Given that the PSR3k has one of the more intuitive menu systems, then what does the KN do to make things easier for "beginners"? I agree with the theory that the salesman is trying to unload the KN because he can't actually sell it in face of the competiition.
