What has 61 keys with after-touch, speakers, loads of features, top quality sounds, and styles, SSD drive, re-mix drums, arpeggios, mic and harmonizer, audio recording, quality construction, 33 pounds, but NO sequencer and not made in China
Sounds like Donny got the 'much praised by you' Integra in exchange. Would that be correct? If so, what happened? Did it suddenly go out of tune or something? FRAN.....trading a ROLAND PRODUCT for a KETRON? That's like me trading a B3 for an accordion . C'mon Fran, what happened? Did he slip you a 'mickey'?...threaten you with bodily harm?...what? Curious minds want to know.

Hammer to DonM to DNJ to Fran in a month!! Has to be a new record.
There were a few similar frequent mile deals here..
DonM sold his E50 to DNJ, Donny sold it to me, but I sold it to a stranger..... less than 2 weeks..
Another deal.. I sold my EA7 to DNJ, Donny sold it to Hammer, and Hammer offered it for sale shortly after..
Maybe Synthzone should sponsor some sort of lend/lease deal. We all pay so much a month, then just check out the arranger we want...return in when done.

Chas, I have my "much praised" Integra7, here in front of me... Although I lost a "family" member
I had to sign a "gag" agreement, but the clincher was the offer of an "icecream waffle with fresh strawberries".
Let's say Donny got what he wanted.... he is a happy camper

Since Donny revealed that he has a BK9... Let me explain my reasoning
To say I liked the BK9 would be an understatement .. If I was gigging often, it makes the perfect choice.. The Supernatural sounds make a big difference to me..
Still my favorite keyboard is the G70, for the things it can do...
Since I had two SN instruments, BK9 and the Integra7... if I sold one or the other I would still have the SN sounds that I use..
Selling the BK9, made the most sense … The Integra7 gives me more options in the studio.. where I spend most of my time.. ( and over 300 SN acoustic sounds).
The KETRON sd7 intrigued me.. I often buy gear to try … I also consider any losses I could incur when I sell the gear
And NO I do not buy from retailers with the intention of returning the gear.. It is not a fair practice to dealers..
I have learned a lot about the SD7... mostly good points.. a few negatives..
I intend to give "my first impression" after I am done exploring the SD7..
Almost forgot I have to take down the Integra7 from EBAY... I can't lose two "family " members

I have had NINE trades or purchases and/or sales in the past couple of months. I certainly didn't start out to do that. Had PA4X and thought I'd like a PA476. Sold the PA4X. Bought a PA4X 76. Didn't like the 76. Traded the 76 for another PA4X 61. Thought I'd like PA1000. Traded PA4X for PA1000 plus cash. I liked the 1000 a lot, but thought I'd like a Ketron SD7 because it sounds so good. Bought SD7. Lots of things to like, but a couple I didn't want to live with. Traded the SD7 for PSRS970 plus cash. Only reason I did this trade was because the Yamaha would be easier to sell than the Ketron. Sold the PRSS970. Got another PA4X. I already had possession and use of this, and it was the reason I could do some experimenting and have it to fall back to. Now have both PA4X and PA1000 and I'm a happy camper again. I'm leaving the 4X set up on the job and use the 1000 for events in the other side of the venue, and for jobs outside the regular "gig". All this reminds me of one of my favorite songs:

I am interested how good the sd7 is as a contoller of the integra7? From what i made out in the manuall, it could become a hinderance if you plan to use m together
Sd7 and integra7 soundwise sound like a match made in heaven..
