Hello everyone!

Its been awhile since I posted so here it goes.

I'm new to arranger keyboards and have had the KN7000 for 14 months. Before that, its been organs from Wurlitzer, Conn, Gulbransen, Hammond (Aurora Classic), two Technics organs, and then the KN7000. Late summer, I picked up the PA50 and prefer some sounds/styles over the 7000 and vice versa.
One local keyborad store here, in Orlando has the PA1X. What a sound! Just trying to figure out if I'll ever use everything it has to offer.
At this point, I'm putting together sets (songs) and may hit the assisted living facilities in my area, or Sunday brunches for pin money.
I need to ween myself from sheet music to get to the next level in playing but also find that the buttons on today's keyboards are sometimes more complicated than thoes black and white things!

Fran, I can play a LITTLE...I just can't count very well!

you mean ix300.

This is a fun topic! My list is not as impressive as some of you posted, but here we go:

Technics KN-6000 (exp. to KN-6500): current keyboard. Acoustic piano’s and guitars not as good as on my previous Roland, but overall a better sounding instrument. Brass, saxes and flutes are very good. Good and very inspiring styles and lot’s of programming possibilities (I only use some of them). Midi file playing less user-friendly than Roland and needs lots of changing of settings to make midis sound acceptable. Impressive internal amplification and speakers!

Roland E-600 (hi Fran!): a lesser-known Roland arranger, but a very good one! Offered great value for money. Impressive stereo acoustic piano sample(s), guitars, vocals. Most of them perhaps better than of some keyboards currently on the market. Good midi file playing. Standard factory performance-memory settings poor, never used them.

Technics KN-1000: I think it represented a new generation of arranger keyboards. I had great fun with this one. In it’s time it was hard to beat and I can’t remember the competition offering anything better at the time.

Roland RA-90: not an arranger keyboard, but a module version of the Roland E-70. I used it connected to a Yamaha HS-6 electr. organ. Not easy to operate while playing, but at the time it was very good sounding with great styles.

Yamaha HS-6: ok, not an arranger but an electronic organ. I bought it together with my dad when I still lived with my parents. Had a lot of fun playing it. Played several organs that my father owned before that, but listing them would be really off-topic.

Yes.. I realised I'd missed the 'x' out but I though it was to insignificant to go back and edit the page for the sake of an 'X' assuming that most people would know it was an i'X'300.
