Yamaha PSR-S650

I treated myself to a PSR-S650 for my belated 50th Birthday, I got mine from Rocking Rooster music (http://www.rockingrooster.co.uk/) and got a great deal.

I got the S650, a stand, pair of headphones, 5 year warranty and Free next day delivery for £499.

I'm getting to grips with it, every keyboard has different ways to operate it, record it etc and this has a built in 16 track sequencer which is great.
To record it I use an Alesis Stereo to USB cable which has an Analogue to Digital converter in the cable, then I use Audacity to record the final mix onto.

The voices are amazing, guitars, strings, pianos and Organ all amazing, there are almost 700 sounds on it so it will take a while to experiment.

Have a listen, there are a few wrong notes here and there, I've not played in anger for some 20 years, it's been 30 years since I left the club circuit but slowly my fingers are easing up.

I hope you enjoy listening.
