So there's some back and forth going on here. But it's practically endless and customizable jam tracks - I'd never in my life have to buy any further rehearsal tools. The practice and sheer fun potential here is utterly incredible.Ä«uuuut it's $2000 and I just feel a little silly at the idea of dropping that for some jam tracks. Frankly, this keyboard could take the place of every jam track album ever created. I can use just the percussion for a drum track, or the rest of the band for the full experience, or isolate the bass for guidance and inspiration if I'm not sure what to play. I can use the "Chord Looper" to set up any progression I feel the need to work on. It's got 525 styles, so I could play along to virtually any genre in the world. The pros to this idea! Let's consider the Yamaha PSR-SX900. Could buy, what, 150-200 jam albums instead of one $2000 keyboard? The cons to this idea? Waaay too much to pay for some jam tracks. But last night I thought, hey, if I get an arranger keyboard I can create exactly the track I want at any time! I've only played to backing tracks a few times, usually got frustrated trying to find the right one. And for some reason it was so doggone intriguing. I was watching some demos of the old Squier Precision V last night (an uncommonly enjoyable demo hunt the guys making those videos made some great music!) and the first guy was playing to a drum track.
