I'm deep into the thinking box, my two brain cells that still works have a personal argue about the final choise. With one almost normal and another brain cell sitting in a wheelchair, you can only imagine what's going on in my head.. . _________________________ Cheers 🥂 GJ _______________________________________________ "Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many you brought with you."

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	They all do the job well but differently...I have used most of them and was successful on each no problem.......what you need to ask yourself is am I comfortable playing this keyboard....navigationally, editing, onboard features, etc, ... with only a few brands left they pretty much sound terriffic with styles and sounds ........and no matter what you choose ...a few years later it will become antique thats the way electronics work...eg: iPhone 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc.. so I say just buy and play it wont be your last....good luck

In other words doing that will jump from A letter songs to B lettered songs etc. If you’re further down the list and want to scroll up do the same with the “shift+up arrow. Donny, I like your philosophy “buy and play, it won’t be your last.” Lots of truth in that. Edited by Stephenm52 (11/23/17 04:53 PM)

If you do this, Steve’s tip quoted above, will no longer work. I just make set lists on the pa4x, thats an incredible feature. Toigh thats only possible on the pa4x Dont know if this feature is also on the Pa1000? _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Bernie9 Senior Member Registered: 09/21/02 Posts: 5520 Loc: Port Charlotte,FL,USA	Thanks for the reminder Bachus. It isn't as much fun as playing, but will render huge dividends down the road. _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Audya 76,Yamaha S970 , vArranger, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40, Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

MusicalMemories Member Registered: 11/16/08 Posts: 636 Loc: Arbroath,Angus,Scotland	I've already got a Pa50sd but recently upgraded to the Pa700 the transition from the old performance memories to songbook and keyboard sets is a learning curve. I'm quite interested in how you can edit the sounds and add effects. _________________________ Gem Wk4, Solton Ms60, Technics Kn5000, Korg Pa50sd, Yamaha Psr k1, Tyros 4, Korg Pa700

bruno123 Senior Member Registered: 06/04/02 Posts: 4912 Loc: West Palm Beach, FL 33417	Korg’s Songbook I have set up my songs in the Set List . The problem; when I want a certain song which Set List is it in. All my songs are in Song Book with a filter code letter. A- Old Senior songs B-Big Band C-Slow Rock D-Rock up E-Disco/Dance F-Ethnic, Waltz, Polka, and Patriotic I can move to a category and select a song I want. I use my Set List for sets; they are songs that I normally play in a group. My only problem with sets is the mood of people does not always fit my set list. I play one or two songs from a Set List and find I need to change the type of music I am playing. So I have A to F categories to select from. Korg has made a keyboard that can satisfy almost every taste/needs. My method is for John, everyone sets up accordion to their own way of thinking. John C.

John, Why don’t you use the genre tab in songbook? Thats specifically created for keeping your entries sepperated in groups. _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net
