Hi, I know this question would invite subjective opinions. However, I really appreciate your insight and advice.
I would like to buy a new keyboard. Within my budget, it seems that the Casio CTK-6000 and Yamaha PSR-E423 are best bets. If I understand correctly, PSR-E423 is the latest model from Yamaha even though it was first released in 2010 or 2011. Meanwhile, CTK-6000 is the best keyboard from Casio (in that price range, and I know it is cheaper than CTK-7000).
Have you tried any of these two? What do you think about the good and bad points about these keyboads?
Personally, I would need a keyboard which has good styles/rhythms so that I can make use of their auto-accompaniment feature.
Thank you
Hi to you Nam: Having spent many many hours researching the benefits and detriments of the major keyboard manufacturers, , althoh they EACH have a benefit or two that none of the others have, , , because MY most prominent desire, was the end result of the most realistically natural SOUND for the recording artist I do all of the composing for, , I chose the brand name that is most favoured thus, because IT is the ONLY one that's earned itself that legacy, , by always introducing percussion Rythm Styles and instrument Voices that are genuine "
VST",
Virtual
Sound
Track quality; in
other words, ALL of Yamaha's SOUNDS are de
rived from original instruments, whether a kettle-drum or a sax', and
to such ex
tent, that
none other keyboard can
match that which Yamaha is capable of.
Also, IT so far iz the ONLY brand that compatible periferal sounds can be obtained for by the
thousands; a while back I purchased a disk containing 20,000 additional Rythm Styles that accomodate the taking apart and re-assembling of the drum-kits therein, be
cuz my most recently purchased keyboard per
mits that on-screen benefit; it's a Tyros-3 technically, with the PSR-S900 model name, becuz it's the direct forerunner of the Tyros-3, but with only one, miniscule, seldom ever desired feature not included, and that permits a saving of about 2000$. For a breif sampling of a few low-key professional performances done on Yamaha keyboards entirely, all of them 3 years old and
one more than 20, perooz
www.ezrasohf.com , , because I do all of his composing and arranging on Yamaha products, ecsept for one instance when he wanted a family inclusive recording made, and in
that case, there are at least 3 ukes that are NOT of Yamaha sourse, but done live. Also, keep in mind that ONLY Yamaha is frequently introducing NEW user obtainable rythm-styles and voices on its keyboards, and another
VERY important point, is that althoh such as Roland & Korg provide support for only a breif period concerning parts replacement, Yamaha does so for up to 20 years, and althoh I've yet to need anything of drastic importance and in only one instance, & that being for my PSS795 that's 22 years old,
DO keep in mind, that in consideration of your initial outlay, you will =NOT= want to be
STUCK with a keyboard that a few yearz from now, has virtually NO
re-sale value, because of its BRAND =NOT= maintaining parts support.
