PSR-3000
Professional auto-accompaniment keyboard

The Karaoke function is just incredible, you can connect any USB thumb drive to the PSR-3000, it will recognize the drive, and you can load all kinds of files, MIDI, XG, and most importantly, .KAR  - the lyrics will show on the screen, or you can connect to any TV set with video ins.

The sounds, especially the new Mega Voices, allow unprecedented expressivity.  All samples are beautifully recorded and stored in ROM.  Many expertly-crafted presets will get you started, and it's easy to tweak sounds to your liking, using the huge on-board screen.

There are so many more features that I really recommend reading the manual on-line to have an idea of the power of this machine.  Basically the best features from the Tyros and Motif line were brought in this device.

Big thumbs up for the 3000!
