I have to say I really enjoyed them..... I'm not surprised being I've performed with many Ketron boards in the past.....& always held their sounds/styles in the highest regard....... http://www.ketronus.com/Manuals/SD5.pdf

About my only reservation is the location of the fill-variation buttons. I'll have to use the foot switches more for these functions. But, I'll wait and see. Should be here Friday or Monday. DonM

Funny you post this today! I have a Tyros 2 and been looking at the PA800. My local dealer sells both Korg and Ketron. I made a visit yesterday and played both for the first time. (I am a former SD1 owner) The SD1 is my all time fav, from a sound perspective. I got instantly nostalgic when I played the SD5, all those "WARM FAT" sounds!! Awesome tenor sax and the Golden Trumpet!! Live sounding drums!! etc. Then I played the PA800. Different animal!! Sounds Great! Nice clear and clean sounds! Loved the unplugged stuff! Then I went home and played my Tyros2 and that still sounds great! SOOOOOOO what does it all mean?????

Don, one of the cool features on the SD5 is setting up touch sensitivity to fill, whereby increased pressure on a key produces a fill. Don't know if any other KB has this feature, but I use it all the time.
