No, I'm not selling my PA800, in the immediate future. If I do it would be to buy a Pa2Xpro. I liked the PA800 so much that once I purchased it I played the T2 on one more gig, and that was only because I didn't have enough time on Saturday the day I bought it to set the PA800 for the next day's gig. I never even fired up the T2 the night before I packed it up for shipping to it's new home.

I like all 3 boards, Pa800, Tyros2, and the G70. If my money pit was endless I'd own all 3. When Tyros3 or whatever it's called and Roland releases a G70 replacement I'll look at those when the time comes.


BTW good review on the S900.

Now Donny, you be nice now, hear?

No name calling...please?

Glad you like the S900...about time your eyes were opened.

(Sings) I can see clearly now...my Korg is gone....

I know dnj has the PA-800 and it's a great keyboard but for the yamaha s900 at 1,599.00 or cheaper is a great bang for the buck. I bought my s900 at the local guitar center at 20% off day, that they were having. so it worked out to be 1280.00 plus tax. so if you can get them at a major retail store when they have their one day sales it gets even beter. If the s900 wasn't out I would have purchased the PA-800 but I chose not to since the s900 was $1000 cheaper and sound for sound they both do the job very well.

It is amazing that anyone has the ability to switch out keyboards and continue to successfully play their gig - that is a testament to one's ability to quickly grasp an OS.

For me, my feeble brain works slow, so I have to labor to make it sound good finally.

Kudos to those that switch boards. I believe the audience likes change as much as the musician. We all change - period!

Correctomundo, Jim, but I guess most of it depends how you use the instrument...some people just use them basically as MIDI file players and sing or play over them...finding the new locations for the "play" and "stop" buttons can't be that hard.

For the ones who delve deeper into their 'boards and do more actual playing, you gotta give them credit for learning a new OS literally by the seat of their pants...it could quite a challenge.
