Waiting for "a what could be" Yamaha keyboard doesn't interest me. There still exists the possibility that Yamaha won't produce anything new arranger wise.

Back to considering another keyboard. Had a nice visit today with Ketron AJ....very informative.

The Ketron SD 7 does intrigue me mostly because the styles sure seem to fit the type of crowds I play for.

That said, my PA 4X has been the best of the bunch for me overall....just wish the 4X styles and voices were a better fit for my audiences. Still, overall, it's an excellent machine.

Recently I had the chance to play an older Ketron, the XD 9. Very impressive sounds/styles and keybed for an older machine.
