I recorded these today using the mic on my Zoom H2. The recordings are not wonderful but I think you can hear the KMA well enough - so here they are. The venue is one I do gratis - most of the residents are on their way to hospice and many can't speak or move about without help. Not much reaction from them but you can tell they are listening. I play two of these places and always feel blessed when I leave.

Thanks Deane, Appreciate your playing for venues like this. The KMA sounds really good, and nice playing. I enjoyed them all especially Waltz Across Texas. Keep up your good work

Thanks so much for sharing those with us Hammer. The KMA is a nice versitle instrument. I love the harmonica sound that you used so nicely on Star Dust and the Texas waltz. I think that is my favorite KMA voice.
Could you tell us which styles you were using? Also considering you have one of the best arrangers out there (Tyros 4) how do you decide on which keyboard to take to the gig?

Montunoman, I gig just about on a daily basis. Even though I have nearly 2000 songs setup on my Tyros 4 that I can use I end up playing the same songs all the time - generally by request. I get bored with the same old sounds all the time so I grab various keyboards for gigs every once in awhile. The KMA is limited by the lack of a variety of styles but the styles I have found useful are very good. That was my complaint when I had the PA1X and PA2X pro too. So far all the places i have played with the KMA the people said they liked it a lot.
