Been using a Yamaha keyboard for many years and treated myself to this new one. I am not a professional musician. I play for my own amusement. I gave the keyboard 3 stars because the sounds are really good and it makes some attempt to teach. Need a magnifying glass at my age to see the LCD display
Two things that are lacking compared to my older keyboard:
1) The intro/ending key is one event. So you can only use the intro as an intro. After you start playing, if you hit the intro key it obviously invokes the ending and the song stops. On my older keyboard the functions were split so if you pressed the Intro during song play, it created a nice frill and break to lead into something else.
2) The auto fill is also now one key with the style variations from A/B. This means while playing a style or song, when you hit the auto fill it moves the style variation from A to B or vice versa and you get the drum roll. Nothing wrong with that, but it would be much nicer to have a separate FILL key if one wants to stay within a variation and just have a fill without switching. Hope I explained it properly. To me this is a huge disappointment. I read the entire manual and could not find a solution
I guess this is one of the problems buying an item like this online. My local music store did not have model for me to preview. I have always liked Yamaha and figured it would be great based on my older PSR510
