And it's nearly a thousand miles to and from my nearest Ketron dealer. Not a trip I'm prepared to make to simply slake my curiosity. I still think the thing is priced too high for what I can justify, at this time. My G70 may be a little bit long in the tooth by some of YOUR standards, but I'm more of a 'ten year cycle' kind of guy.

Quite possibly, in another five years, the audio loop technology may be more mature, and all chords are covered without MIDI substitution and streamed off a nice SSHD with excellent reliability. And with any luck, someone will be producing them at more real world prices.

I'll certainly check one out if anyone near me gets one, or a dealer within 100 miles carries them, but my part of the world, even local towns are over 50 miles apart! So I'm not holding my breath!
