Thanks miden! I didn't realize Korg was in the process of making an 88 note real weighted hammer action Arranger!! I wasn't able to find any info on the Korg U.S.A. site but I found this info doing a Google search:

"Korg's new up and coming Pa588 88 note weighted hammer action Arranger details"

This should be real interesting! I have a few questions such as, how much the physical weight will be and how much polyphony it will have, etc? But from the info it looks like it will be an outstanding product. And apparently it will be out this Summer which will be a head start over the Audya or Yamaha's new flagship "61" key arranger.

This is exciting and I'm thrilled that Korg has taken on the 88 note Arranger challenge again. Competition is the main spark that flames the passion of ingenuity, creativity, and is the motive for invention. I'm glad two of the Big Three are following that particular course of action regarding the products they create. And the lesser known ones like Ketron as well.

I've basically given up on the idea of Yamaha changing their ways though. Sad, yes... but nevertheless true. I've already tried to convince Yammie until I was blue in the face. Sometimes you just have to leave them to their own devices and fend for themselves.

Best,
Mike
