Yes a lot of variable to consider. Look at Donny's flat setting. This factory setting was set to make a keyboard with speakers built in sound good because most people will probably be playing with those speakers only. It also seems to me someone was saying how they need to tame down the 950's drums and bass when using external speakers unlike any other previous models.

I haven't had a chance really to listen to all the demos yet, but of yours even I noticed that yours sounded quite flat especially compared to the first Ketron demos in this thread which I noticed were from the Ketron UK site.

So, I don't know if we'll ever get this shootout worked out without any of these variables. My keyboard EQ'd sounds quite similar to Donny's flat. About the only solution I can see is if people use the settings that they think makes their drums sound better, but the only thing about that is the wide range of taste in sound.

I'm just hoping that if this continues that something that gives a fair representation of each keyboard happens as there are many lurkers out there (check the number of hits on this thread) and many will choose an instrument with info like this. If it's accurate this is great, if it's not people may end up not with the instrument that would satisfy them.

Just a couple ideas
