I am pretty sure i remember that sound well from the 9000 pro... never played the 2000

Who can hear the difference?
Most of the musicians in your audience definately can...especially if you switched from a Casino to say a Ketron musical instrument.

As for the others, they will "hear" and feel the difference in your performance..

I have to agree AJ, to a point. I have taken all kinds of keyboards to my band, which has had the same members over the past ten years. I have many comments on which instruments sounded better on which keyboard. OTOH, when playing to a general audience, they may think something sounds good or not but don't know why. Of coarse, the musicians ability enters into the equation, as well as the song.

It is easier to nail down with an informed repeat audience. Nonetheless, I agree with AJ with his example.

Your audience is focussed on groove..the majority of them can't pick out a counter melody or chord substitutions. Google Barry Harris and see what he says about Jazz in colleges.

How the female singer is exploited today is disgusting imho...the producers seek out the hooker look having a voice ..sad but true.
