Wrong my friend, ......I use it ALL depending on the gig, 4hrs, 1 hr, 8 hr doubles, etc,..on a NH gig I "NEVER" use anything but live style play,.....styles all night many times or combined with mp3 backing tracks that I have created and recorded many on the arrangers or in combo with SMf files also, & multitracking too,.. DJ'ing also with no Kb at all sometimes too,...who cares? You gotta have it all and be a good singer too and be ready to use it at a moments notice...a one trick pony ain't gonna cut it in todays world of music.

I guess I'm old school. My backup for my PSR-3000 is an identical PSR--3000. If the keyboard were to drop dead on the job, which has never happened, I guess I could get by with the laptop.

Cheers,

Gary

Well....I learned a big lesson on eh BK 5 that was frustrating me regarding "SAVING MY PERFORMANCE LIST" after doing my edits, I step that simply I kept bypassing resulting in my song-list to disappear every-time I shut off the KB. I almost gave up until Fran & Diki got me back on course with the remedy to ALWAYS use the SAVE LIST function. Now I can easily create song lists for gigs and scroll right thru them and perform on stage with ease. let me also say that the BK series units have some terrific styles that are so useful for so many genres eg: "Survive Disco", Gold Foxtrot, "Franks Way", etc,....good stuff.

to be continued

This BK-5 really sounds good...but sadly I will have to let it go as the NEW BK-9 is in my sites very soon.

Price drop..
