hi hellboy...nah you got it right...sold the pa1xPro in march for a yammie s90es 88 note synth, for a new music project..that never really got off the ground, but it wasn't really a problem as the 90es was a great board...but recently found some probs with lower back and had to sell the 90 because of weight (25kgs with roadcase) i have never really been into sampling and never used it on the pa1x, so the criteria was weight, 76 notes, good sound, lyrics ability and vocal harmoniser....g70(prefered option) was too expensive..e60 had no harmoniser, yammies only have 61 notes....so sd1 was the only one to meet all criteria..
cheers
