I have SA 300 which I keep in Mexico. I 'll be using it soon on some holiday parties that I'm doing down there. Anyways, the SA 300 is way better than the BA 330...

I remember talking to you about selling it and you decided to keep it . They're been a few on Ebay but I've passed. Going for some Yamaha DXR's next

I think the Yamaha powered speaker is a better choice Bill. However the SA 300 is a neat " all in one" little PA system.

As far as what's wrong with the bk 9, some keyboardists have told me that they don't like that it has no break button.

Does the BK-9 have Multipads that sync with the style like the Yamaha units?

No dedicated button but you assign one. On the far left there are four programable buttons. You can also assign functions to the FC7 footswitches too. The BK9 has a load of things that can be prorammed in. I've just started scratching the surface of adding these features to my Styles.
A useful on is being able to go from doing LH Bass to full arranger play with a button or one of the footswitches on the FC7. Never have to move your hands from the keyboard. Theres a long list of other useful functions. Check out the manuel online.

Unless they have changed since the BK7m, the Break/fill is just a total break, all silence, no fill. Yes it can be routed to a footswitch or programmable button.

Well, I have a used BK-9 coming my way. Can't wait to hear it through my Yamaha DXR10 speakers.

I got bought it through a fellow Synthzone member. It should be here kn Christmas Eve!!

Main reason I went with the Roland BK-9 is...
--- Low Weight
--- Low Profile
--- Ability of playing WAV or mp3 in a playlist
--- High quality piano sound for my main sound
--- Buying used fit into my budget
--- convenience in my current musical situation

I'm using the BK9 as a way to take tracks I produced in the studio and to take them with me for performances. My wife and I do 10-15 gigs a year. But I lead worship 52 times a year and run 52 rehearsals. That's a lot of lugging around... At under 20 lbs, this will be so much easier than before.

The added bonuses are the styles, audio keys, great quality of sounds I don't have in my studio... the list goes on!

So, nothing is wrong with the BK9... It fits my situation the best at this time.
