Scott,

The microArranger is based on the PA-50SD which was introduced back in 2004, so all functions and features should be the same except for some new styles (maybe) and perhaps some internal tweaks.

I was wondering what the difference would be in price between the adult sized PA-50SD and the little baby MicoArranger?

I was thinking of the latter's use as a module controlled by a Yamaha P-95 or even the Tyros4, but the size is big enough to warrant using a double stand in either scenario. Kind of defeats the module idea, at least for me.

I would also think that with the advent of the wee Korg, the PA-50SD may be available at a reduced and attractive price, allowing both the acquisition of Korgian arranger styles and sounds with a normal sized, and much easier to play, keyboard (also with speakers, no less).

Are you planning on using a microArrnger as an addition, or like some others, using it as a roving, ultra portable entertainment system?
