Thinking about selling my S950. I might be moving into the Korg world. Used my little KMA yesterday for a gig and everyone loved it. Kinda makes you wonder.

Deane, I sincerely believe your audiences would love your performances regardless of the keyboard you're playing. Give me a call when you have time. I'm working today until about 5 p.m., so anytime after that is fine.

Ditto, although my full time job keeps me from playing as many gigs as I would like. I still play a couple every month. Whether I take the T4 or the Pa3x, I really believe it's only me that notices the board I'm using. I've had comments from audiences on both boards saying "wow that's some kinda keyboard you're playing".

Yes, you play great! Your audience will love your music on any good KB. Just wondering why does it have to be Korg or Yamaha? I mean if you can afford to keep them both, why not just go for the
"best of both worlds" approach like Stephenm52 does?

On my bigger jobs that I do, actually bring both my Tyros 2 and Korg Micro Arranger. I'm not sure the audience would even know or care but I like the opptions 2 keyboards gives me.

You just don't need TOTL keyboards to simply play with styles. Plus, if you play the same number of gigs, make the same money, and can use cheaper gear - why not?

Don't need Infinity or Mercedes, but WANT is different!

Do you want to trade it in on a Korg PA3X 61?

If your gigs are anything like mine here in the DFW area, TOTL is not at all cost effective.

Don,
I'am not sure yet. Other than my Korg KMA I have bought and sold a PA1X, PA2XPro, and a PA600 because of various reasons. Right now I am looking at simple and easy to carry around.

As for being "cost effective". I learned a long time ago - if they don't want to pay my rate someone else can play the gig. I have dozens I won't play because they are constantly griping about my fees. If someone is dumb enough to play for "dinner" or a fee that hardly covers expenses that is their problem but I darn sure am not going to do it.

You have to hold onto a TOTL keyboard a lot longer than a MOTL one to fully make it worth while. One of the reasons why I stuck with my G1000 for well over 10 years, have happily used my G70 for eight (and counting, at least for live use now) and anticipate my BK-9 quite possibly going to the end of my career (and that isn't even TOTL!).

That and familiarity and intimate knowledge of how to wring the best out of it without the manual..!

But I agree, MOTL arrangers are becoming so incredibly good, capable and affordable, they often make the TOTL choice a bit pointless. Often, the few things the TOTL adds are things like samplers so few of us use, paying an extra $2000 or so makes little sense...
