I'm only playing jazz from now on. Country is too hard.

Does that mean you only need one chord and an insane right hand? wink

This is the exact same problem as the S950/BK-9 comparison. This doofus is taking them out of the box and playing them without the slightest effort to balance them style/RH balance and volume wise...

What I wouldn't give for a chance to plug a bloody expression pedal in both of these. I don't get it. If these things are supposed to be the descendants of home organs (and marketed to the same kind of players) why no friggin' volume pedal? All it would take is riding the pedal a hair, and the style/RH balances would have been much better!

If he's reading this... on Roland's, PUT THE BALANCE KNOB TO 9-10 O'CLOCK! Or the RH will drown out the backing.

I'm starting a new duo with a great singer down here, and plan to use the BK-9 rather than my G70, so I think it won't be TOO long before it's demo ready (I'm not exactly rushing to use it while the G70 still does the job, and is still the better keyboard for live band use). I'll post something when it meets my standards (the down side of being picky!).

In the meantime, I still think the LaPietradelParagone demos show what the keyboard is capable of best. Very few swamp the backing with the RH, and you all know how I HATE that! I just don't get it... you pay a fortune for a backing keyboard, then play so loud you can barely hear the backing! Might as well use a 20 year old arranger for all the good you can hear it, LOL
