Disadvantages: -

...professional and purchased a small Yamaha with Leslie speaker - (a sort of spinning speaker inside a cabinet that produced a rich sound). Because of it's light weight for portability and reasonable prices compared to most other organs, I have stayed loyal to Yamaha ever since. I now own a HE 8 (old technology now, which I will soon be updated no doubt) and a PSR3000 - a 61-key electronic keyboard, which is the focus of this review. What I Like About ...
...styles (explained below) from the Yamaha website - full instructions are included with the keyboard and are also on the Yamaha website (http://music.yamaha.com).

...the category in for my Technics SX-KN2600 keyboard, so I just HAVE to tell you all about this wonderful musical instrument! I should firstly let you know that I'm a competent keyboard / paino player, nothing special but I can play a few tunes and write some half-decent songs. I don't claim to be a master musician or a master songwriter, but I do love sitting down at the keyboard and messing about, working with sounds and arrangements and seeing ...

...propose to review tonight the Yamaha DJX IIB 'beat box' which originally appeared in 1997. The original DJX was a keyboard instrument, which as well as offering the usual multi-voice FM synthesis and rhythm section, the DJX IIB dispensed with the 'ivory end ebony' and concentrated on the percussion side.

Advantages: versatile keyboard useful for both studio and live work,
Disadvantages: User / Preset switching manual not auto

I bought my XP10 about 5 years ago and it has been a great keyboard for both studio recording and live performance. At the time I bought it the price was some £650 and it was great value for money, when compared to the O1/W at just over £1000. It is a 5 octave keyboard with the keys being touch sensitive and functioning very well. The unit has 127 User selected voices and a further 127 Preset voices, operational over 16 MIDI channels. It also ...
...Sequencer program there is a useful switch on the keyboard that can control the stop / start of the computer. The keyboard is not a workstation so does not have a built in sequencer. The window which shows the display is not backlit so that causes a problem when gigging - you have to be certain that all voices being used are set before the lights go down. There are a couple of functions that I have never used, for instance the Arpeggio and the ... Read review
