Korg Micro Arranger in new condition. The keyboard is filled with well over 90 songs set-ups with song titles ready to play. (Good for nursing homes)
I made a case which doubles as carrying case and Laptop holder. The case can be placed on top of a table or an “X” stand with the keyboard in it. There is a slot in the back to slide a laptop computer in the rear. 85% of the computer is inside the case so it is stable.
I use a wireless mouse to select songs with the same number setup in the keyboard. I also have a $40 soft carrying case I never used; it was bought from Amazon. Asking $395
Its a nope for me too far for shipping, BTW can you read music so small with that tablet, hells my eyes must be worse than I thought, ears gone, eyes and brain, only one thing still working. me thumb!!! Sorry Scott...

Thanks John. I'm not sure I want a MicroArranger right now, but I'm very curious... what program are you using to display music on your notebook PC? Thanks!
Ted, When I was using a Laptop for my leadsheets I simply used the standard PDF reader. It worked just fine.
Now I use my Ipad and it is a perfect solution. There are several very good apps available - all for under $3.00.
John, Are you sure you really want to sell the KMA? I just love mine and use it on just about all my gigs now as a stand-a-lone keyboard. You might want to just hang on to it.

Deanne good to hear the KMA is working out for your needs... in case anyone forgot how good it can sound here is a repost of my KMA demos when I had one ..

Tony, The screen you see is a 14.6 from my HP laptop. After buying the correct glasses - distance to music, all is very clear. Tony, most of my music is more of a guide I’ve played many a song with the wrong sheet or lyric before me.
124 and Cassp, thank you.
Deane, It was said by one of our members; if you have a pa800 why buy a KMA. I bought the keyboard to have something to fiddle with; my enjoyment. But when it comes to playing out the pa800 is good for my needs. If I owned a Yamaha keyboard I would certainly keep the KMA. Thanks for your reply.
Larry yes, the case has a large port in the rear and plenty of space on all four sides to breath. The KMA has been fun and fantastic when played through my Bose Compact.
John, I understand. I will probably keep mine simply because it is a blast to mess with around the house - even with it on my lap while watching TV. If Yamaha sold a product this size and up to this standard in sounds and styles I would buy it immediately.
Just thought I'd add that the KMA serves me well. In fact it was a godsend on my travels this summer. Last weekend we played a family reunion in the San Antonio area. The KMA, Bose Compact, keyboard/mic stands along with luggage fit perfect in the trunk with plenty of room for my wife and daughter in front.
Also I have some gigs coming up after work and I don't want to leave me keyboard in the car with this extrem heat. The KMA fits perfectly under my desk at work.
Someday I'll probably driving one of those supper compact cars and micro gear will be a necessity.

While trying to figure out the KMA has been far from a blast for me (I'd rather go to the dentist office than learn a keyboards OS) I too would be very happy if Yamaha made a Micro Arranger. As much as I bash Yamaha, I am used to the OS and find it simple.

If you should be inundated with calls from potential buyers, I am willing to part with my recently acquired KMA at the same price as you've listed. It's a great little machine but will not meet my recording needs without additional investment and what I consider to be a steep learning curve. The manual leaves a great deal to be desired. As a songwriter, I don't have time to invest in learning a complex operating system when compared to the way most Yamaha Arrangers work.
I love the way this little machine sounds and the size is perfect. I don't mean to "horn in" on your thread but at least you know there are others willing to sell their KMA at a bargain basement price. (US Buyers Only and buyer would pay for shipping.)

Dave, how dare you horn in on my Post (smile) If I there are any other serious buyers I’ll send them your way.
Take care, John C.
PS, If I had a Yamaha or Technics keyboard I would not sell the KMA but owning a Pa800 and a KMA is redundant, although it was fun while I had it. If Yamaha made an equivalent in the same price area I would buy it.
