Thanks for your time, and I hope you can get your message out there and your boards become more accessible. Just by your being here you have shown a new willingness.
Remember I did compare it to the Rolls Royce.
And probably, because of the innovations of your company, it forces all the keyboard makers to better their machines to keep up.

Looking forward to it DonM, had a SD1 for a few days back in
2001, and even wrote some lines about it downwards this tread:

Also Ketron_AJ wrote a review in this tread:

Looks like SD1 (SD1+) is still going strong, and since there
are no new successor in foreseeable sight (if ever?) and it
is almost in the same price level as G70 a comparison between
the two would be nice to see as well, even if it at the end
is the personal taste and needs who decide what to choose.

Also I would like to know the "fill in" system on the G70 are
i.e. compared to the KN's?
I understand you can't choose between them freely, but a kind
of up and downwards progress just as when use the KN's MSA.
Is it possible to use them separately as you desire and in the
succession you want to either by use the fillin buttons as is
or maybe programmable ones?

Happy playing.

[QUOTE] by WDMcM:

I live in Cincinnati and there is not a store in or around the city that has a PA1x, Tyros, SD1, etc.

Dave,
Sam Ash has a PA1x in Tri-County
Zuki

They must have gotten it in recently then. The last time I was there, the keyboard clerk said that they do not stock that model but could special order it.

But thanks for pointing that out anyway.

Buddy Roger's music in Beechmont has a Promega 2, Genesys Ensemble Grand, RP800 and RP700 on the showroom floor.

Kathy's Organs and Pianos in Northgate has a Genesys Ensemble, RP800, RP700, RP80, pRP7, and Genesys on the showroom floor.

Far Out Music in Jefferson, IN has a Promega 2 and a Genesys Pro on the showroom floor.

Central Music in Louisville, KY has a Genesys Ensemble vertical and grand, RP800, RP700, RP70, GK340, WK1, WK2000HD, PS1300 on the showroom floor.

BTW- The Genesys Ensemble is the home verion of the Genesys series. So if you can't find a Genesys Pro in your area, you can always check out a Genesys Ensemble since ALL Genesys models are the same on the inside, front panel layout, etc.

As an example, somebody metioned not finding many high end arranger keyboards in Dallas, TX. Dallas Piano is one of our largest dealers. They became a GEM dealer last year. They have several Genesys Ensembles in stock and every other GEM home model as well.

LOL,

Dave
