For me...

KORG
ROLAND
YAMAHA

in that order..

Same here. Great demo of the Roland btw.

It's like DonM writes in his comparison between the PA3X and the PSR950, and as you know I own the PA800 and the PSR750 here included in this comparison:
The Korg PA800 and no doubt the PA600 too outshines the PSR750
as regards ease of progamming ( touch screen),songbook, drum sound and drum progamming ,strings and possibly sax.... The PSR750 has better guitars,electric pianos,organs and voices. The acoustic piano on the PSR750 is better than on the PA800, what I hear here there ain't much of a difference between the two in this comparison. I also think that these comparisons are only relative as there is so much you can alter by merely changing the final overall EQ settings of each arranger. I for one am very happy owing both and would recommend any of you who has approx. 2200 to 2600 euros to spare to get both, rather than splashing out 3500 euros for either a tyros 4 or a pa3x.

John

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion. With arranger KB's Great things are done by a series of small things brought together. Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much much power you have.

Couldn't have said it better myself...

Gary, I have sent you an email...

Got it!

I feel all three have their strengths in various voice categories but for the basic sound categories like Piano, Bass and Drums the Roland really shines. Comparison would be the most accurate if all the boards are played with the effects turned down and recorded in the same environment and of course the same pieces played by the same players... One brand missed out here is Ketron. The SD-2 has some stunning sounds which can put these three to shame in many sound categories.

And most importantly if Marco Parisi or Bert Smorenburg or Cesar Guzman played these pieces through a Casio board and you only heard the audio, then most would conclude its one of the big three. They can get the best out of any keyboard.

Check this guy out on

this demo was posted here years ago, still interesting...lol

Now we know where Ketron got the LIVE drums for the Audya..
