Hi Donny,
Funny you would mention the midijay - I spoke with both Jay and Don today about them. Certainly something to think about. What are you top choices in controllers?

Now me, I'd want to know what controller anyone had that they WEREN'T trying to sell, if I were looking for a good one

But that's just me...

I've owned both SD1 & SD5 and for me (my opinion only, so don't shoot me.)The SD5 is a newer sound engine, the sounds are newer, some of the the styles that are in the sd5, which came from the SD1 have been re-tweaked with the SD5 sound engine, they sound great, alive. The Sd1 is a great keyboard but its 8 years old. SD5 is 1 1/2 years old at best. SD5 has a combo of the X1, SD1, XD9 styles + many new styles also. I was a big ketron user for over 11 years and I have to say they are one of the best sounding keyboards that I've owned. Which everone you pick you will be happy.

Thanks folks for all the great input. I just placed an order for a Midjay Plus - thought I would give that a try and perhaps move on from there. I'll let everyone know how it works out. Probably will be using either an M-Audio or a Roland controller.
