I added the Korg MicroArranger to my growing collection. I don't know how Korg did it..,, but their design team nailed the "sweet spot" with these mini keys. It's unreal how playable and expressive those little keys are. With less than five minutes I had no problems playing it. I can fly on this little keybed. I assume I'm adjusted to them because my wife was watching me play and her response was "how in the hell is it that you can play those baby keys as well as your big keyboards".

It's just a PA50 SD shrunk down, so I'll skip the review. Very awesome little arranger though.

Squeak,
I gigged with my KMA very often. I really like it. I would still be using it but the motherboard died and it was going to cost a fortune to replace it - more than a brand new keyboard.

I also bought John Smies resources for it and boy did that make a difference. You might contact John and see if they are still available. Tell us what kind of music you play. I might still have my KMA files and would be glad to share them with you.

I'm enjoying the MA a great deal. I've got the factory restore set now..., so I'm going to be doing some heavy editing to this little keyboard now.
