Topic: Hello from me

[eegrek]

Hi everyone, I am a 78 year old male (David) with a rather dated PSR2000 I purchased in about 2002.
It all works fine and I have recently converted the floppy disc player to a USB emulator with the perhaps mistaken belief that I might be able to install some additional styles to simulate some of the more modern Keyboards. In this, I have been less than successful. During the lock down period in the UK (Norwich), this has helped me to at least remain sane by trying to get the most from this keyboard without purchasing a modern replacement. I have my eyes on a PSRX600 which may be I can purchase sometime later this year. As I develop my playing further I will probably ask for advice from players who could advise me of my bets way forward to get the best from rather poor playing skills.

Hello David!

I purchased my Yamaha about a month ago, preparing for this year lock down (here in Argentina is still summer) and dont loose my sanity like almost happend the last year 

Can't answer your question about the PSR2000 (but its a miracle that that usb stick floppy emulator works on a keybard) they're made for personal computers afaik ...  but about the PSRX600 its more advanced that the one i bought (psrew410) and has more functions, so you will be more than happy with that one! (im more than happy with mine!)

Hello David! I have the PSR 2100, it is the model after the 2000, but I have the floppy disk drive still. You can upgrade the 2000 with new styles. There are many styles for the 2000 on PSR TUTOTIAL. Just press the Styles tab and you will find them there.

Thank you everyone for your welcome I look forward to seeing your posts.

Wow! what a result since joining only a few days ago I have solved a problem with my emulator which has plagued me for more than a year. I can now add additional styles to my keyboard and keep  my registrations on a usb stick. This will extend the life of my keyboard for a few months more while I save up a for a replacement (or rather an additional keyboard) as I intend to double stack so as being able to use more modern styles with some of the old voices.
This forum has provided the research tool that I have been looking for.
Thank you all.
David.

Welcome David.  I'm sure you will find an abundance of information an better using your 2000 on the main tutorial site.  With the addition of a usb emulator you have the ability to almost anything you may want to do.  You may have to do some work arounds but with MIDI and a few sticks and time not much you can't do.  Have fun!
