James, the features I would miss and actually would keep me from selling the G70..are features that none of the other brands do ..or do as well..

I would definitely miss the chord reads of SMF's a measure before hand , besides the current measure...also the "smart" harmonizer that analyzes the chord for harmonies from the SMF without designating a midi channel...and finally the make up tools that are not matched by anyone...

The draw bar organ , although not perfect..is sure a better system than anyone else is offering..

There are many sounds that are not surpassed by the other brands..I still take the pianos over other brands, and the Scat and vocals are still better than competitors...

Now if Korg addressed these features and matched the capabilities of these features and sounds....of course it would look more appealing to me...but for now and apparently the foreseeable future..it won't be possible for me to consider any other board at this time..The G70 works too good...


I would also hope that Korg addresses the OS, that seems to be so outdated..

Korg already has a decent key bed (only the Pro model..not the Pa800 and 500)...and the quality built (again only the Pro model)..

The Korg PA2x and the Audya are the only keyboards that I would consider..but either of them have the things I need and use...the G70 still delivers..
