Hello everyone.
I own a PSR E443, which I have owned for over a year now. I thought it might be time I signed up here to get some more ideas and may get some answers back from any questions I have with the keyboard. Well I was an organ player back in my school days. Years after moving out of home, bit of travel and living in apartments. I decided it was time to buy a keyboard.
I had my eye on Yamaha and decided to aim for a mid-priced beginner-intermediate keyboard. I was concerned that a 88 key keyboard may be too big for my place. I decided also not to spend a lot of money on a more advanced keyboard. In case I would come to the realization of not really playing for years. That I may have lost my interest. Was wrong there.
It was a bit of a learning experience when buying. All the different types. One thing was, I did not want one with lots of dials and knobs. Like some of the other brands. I knew my preference in sound and play style had changed since school. I like mostly keyboard instrument sounds such as; pianos, electric pianos, clavinet, organs and some synths. Then a range of other instruments as backing. I think the keyboard I purchased does well for this. A bit of sound tweaking and combination gets some good results. A good external speaker makes some really nice sound. Same with the studio headphones I have.
I've since owning my keyboard, mostly concentrated on playing accompaniment style, with this time little emphasis on melody. I'm a Fleetwood Mac fan. I've been working on a couple of songs. Making backing tracks using the LMMS program and a USB connection from my computer. Loads of experimenting with playing styles and instrument sounds. Loads of learning from listening to Youtube videos of performances. Have learned a bit with Midi sounds and X-Glite also.
As I said before. I had concerns with buying a full-sized keyboard and more expensive one. I'm very happy to keep playing the PSR E443. I still have a lot of exploring to do. However I think, when I really feel it is time to move on and I have the cash. I might step up to something like the MX88.
Cheers
