Hi all!

This is Sunny from India. Long absent from this board. A few hours ago I bought myself a PSr S900 and boy am I thriled with it. I had a Korg PA1X before and it was just gathering dust as I have always been a Yamaha player and I guess the decision to switch to Korg didn't really work well with me. Nothing against Korg and the PA1X. In fact my wife is somehow missing the Korg and I too feel that I have downgraded somehow but that's me. The PA1X was an amazing gig companion for a year but I was always missing the ease of use of my Yamaha 2100 and of cuorse the light weight. The PA1X was a pain to carry around.
So, It's really nice to be back on the forums again and I look forward to interacting with everyone here for a long time ahead.

Cheers

SUNNY

A heavy keyboard is a pain (I should know! )... so is a wimpy keybed. So is an unintuitive OS. So is a bland, non-dynamic sound.

Only the weight issue, though, is something that does NOT effect you when you play. Once it is on the stand, it HAS no weight! Everything else makes a difference, though...

Just a thought.

Good choice, Sunny.

It is perfect for my needs...Yamaha's exclusive SA voices (especially the Sax and Concert guitar) are what attracted me to this wonderful instrument.

The S900 has few detractors, other than those who are a tad envious of the cool mega voices, and aforementioned SA sounds, so just simply dig in and enjoy this marvellous example of Yamaha's incredible arrangers.

The myth that an instrument has to be heavy and large to possess quality and great performance has been dispelled a long time ago.

Congratulations on your new instrument.

Ian

You didnt downgrade somehow but you went from a horse on a donkey.
Those 2 synths are in no way comparable, the S900 is a good
machine but in no way in HELL compared to PA1X.

I always found it funny when people complain about weight and size.
I wont give up on a good machine cuz of its wait and buy some toy.
I am not holding it in my hands, its on stands.

So it magically floats to the gig, and puts itself on the stand?

Amazing!

As a music producer and sound engineer, you probably have someone to carry your gear, if it ever needs moving. When you move it once or twice every day, as many of us do and when you perhaps get a little older, you might better appreciate the difference that lighter weight can make.
Nothing makes a person feel better than someone berating his new gear, calling it a toy, comparing it to a donkey, or saying it's wimpy and non-dynamic.
Are we losing all respect for one another, and each other's choice of arrangers?
Does anyone else wonder why we have lost so many knowledgeable well-spoken members and that almost every thread is dominated by the same sarcastic, caustic, even destructive few?
O.K. go ahead and tell me how everyone is open to criticism and we shouldn't post if we don't want your honest opinions.
But first, ask yourself if you would talk to your mother or father that way.
Never mind, you probably would.
Welcome back Sunny.
