I still don't get it Deane...you sold the PA600 because the KMA is a better sounding keyboard? Sorry, but I'm having a hard time getting that. Not that I don't believe you, it's just that the more upscale PA600 should sound better than a mini keyed arranger
Is it all because of John's resources that are loaded on your KMA, and not available for the PA600? That can't be entirely the reason as the KMA demo's you provided sounded great, and most likely did not utilize his resources. (sorry John
) Is the OS that much different that John's resources wouldn't work on your PA600? If so, maybe someone can create PA600 resources similar to what John produced for the KMA and other PA's..although it took him years to reach that goal.
Would you have kept the KMA if John's resources were not available? Would you have kept the PA600 if they were compatible with the 600?
What I get out of your past comments is that Korg arrangers require a lot of editing to get close to what you like, and you didn't want to be bothered spending months fine tuning. I don't blame you for that, as I too would not want to spend that much time tuning, editing, and adjusting...a little is OK, but to me it sounded like you were not even close to being happy with the 600 straight out of the box,
Sorry didn't mean to answer for you...just hard to believe you are more happier with the KMA over the PA600.
PS...hope you're feeling better soon. Wish I could go with you to visit our pal Tony, although there is very little room in those 'flats'
