Those who play the 3x and 900. Is the transition between the key beds a huge issue? (forget all the other stuff).

I'm so used to the 76, I'm afraid to open the sealed 900 box and having 2nd thoughts that I should've gone to the le (backup board that I want to use live).

Any comments about the key bed would be appreciated.

Thanks

I didn't feel much difference in the keybeds.
You won't have any trouble navigating. In fact the 900 is easier to get around and saves more stuff automatically.
As far as 76 keys, now that's a different story. Only you know if you'll be happy with 61.
You will have to rework a lot of your Songbook entries if they point to factory styles because the locations have changed and it will call up the wrong styles.
The 900 has quite a few new and better sounds, particularly saxes. Go through the Performances and you'll find some pretty good settings.

Thanks again Don.

Zuki.....maybe you could find a PA900 in a store somewhere and play it to see if you like it....isn't Sweetwater close to you?..just a thought.

Wow, opened up the 900, purchased from a very respected music retailer, and I was shocked. Definitely 2nd hand, no protective cover, x stand rash and dirty underneath. Keys are terribly uneven and loose on upper registers and loose packaging.

That said, I think I am so spoiled with the 3x. I would never opt for the 900 bed and I'm surely hoping the le is the same key bed as the 3x.

Just venting...........hunt continues
