I just got a notice that my long awaited pa1000 has shipped. It will be here wednesday. I am so looking forward to loosing sleep for a few days and getting used to my new board. The tilt screen alone will be a lifesaver because I have no sight in my right eye, therefore no depth perception. also many upgrades in styles, sounds and features that will
really be helpful. I would like to hear from anyone that has gotten one
to hear what they think of it. I know Zuki did not like his but I didn't want the pa4X because of no speakers and I'm not a fan of sliders. I think the sounds and styles will be better than my pa900 and I just love the touch of the 900's keyboard. For me it is just right. I guess it's because I played B3 for so many years so I like a lighter touch. I will probably camp out on the sidewalk wed morning and wait for the fedex truck lol. I waited 2 months and Its not that long for most people, it was for me.

Congrats Mel, I'm pretty sure you'll love it. It's a vast improvement over the PA900. Just the power of the built-in speakers alone it's worth to upgrade. We'll be waitimg for your review.

MEL, congratulations on your 1000 arrival. You will really enjoy the pop up touch screen - one of the best features.

Don't listen to my rants about it. Everyone has different needs and I'm sure you're going to love it, especially moving up from the 900.

MEL ... CONGRATULATIONS ... I love my Pa900 and if it is a big step up all I would say is WOW !!!

PS: UD, any word on yours?

Tony.. You you ordered a Pa1000 too?

No Donny, I haven't ... The Pa900 is great for MY needs for now and no doubt for a long time to come ...

Congratulations Mel, enjoy your new keyboard.

WELLLL. It came today WOW what a keyboard. one problem. I can't figure out how to get all my old user styles out of the pa900 and into the 1000
If anybody can help, that would be great. What a sound it has I can't set the EQ like the 900 because it will blow me out of the house. Its a whole new incredible keyboard and will take a lot of fiddling but wow does it sound good.

MEL

Tony glad your happy with what you have now your not one to keep changing or falling into the latest & greatest trap, your getting the most out of an instrument that is all good.

enjoy

Mel,

Go into the global settings on the 900 and there are tabs at the bottom of the screen.

Select utility and DISABLE the factory settings on the 900. (when you turn off the 900, the factory settings will automatically be back on)

From there, Simply select which style you want to extract

Note which bank and position the style is from

Put a USB stick in the 900 and COPY the style to the stick. Save to the USB stick and name the new set similar to the style or song you wish to use it as.

LOAD the stick in the 1000. BREAK DOWN (open, open) the .set to the lowest form, which reveals the old style.

ON THE 1000, note you have a couple SAVE options. Make sure you SELECT THE TOP ONE WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO ASSIGN TO ANY USER BANK.

After saved to a USER BANK, use the drop down to rename the style if you wish.

This is off top my head because the 1000 is boxed up.

Call me or pm if you need more help and I can walk you through it.

best
