Although I really like the BK9.... a lot. It makes me appreciate the G70 even more..

When I use the two in tandem, I sacrifice nothing.. I honestly believe they offer the best of everything.

I run the BK9 into the audio in of the G70, I do not midi them together... no need.

Diki prefers the sound of the BK9 over the G70, I differ, I prefer the G70 sound. It may not be the sound source as much as the dc converters used in the G70.

The advantages of the BK9... Lighter, USB storage, Audio/midi player, Better editing of Leslie simulator on the drawbar organ, Chord sequencer, and 22 Supernatural tones.


The advantages of the G70... Better keys with after touch, touch screen, Cover feature, Guitar mode, harmonizer, singer key feature, SRX expansion, and separate outs.


If these two keyboards were combined (feature wise) and a model was released, it could be the best arranger of all time..

Hi Fran, I have the exact same setup and I dont look back! both these keyboards offer such a great variety of everything!

To me the BK9 has some nice punchier drum kits and basses than the G70. And again the pros and cons go on between the 2 boards.

When I purchased the BK9 I had every intent to sell the G70 thinking I wouldnt need it anymore but that definitely is not the case. Its simply too good to pass on

All the best!

Hi Nick, I agree with you.. I have the SRX03 Studio card installed in the G70.. This gives me the bass and drums I need..

And I may know where you can get one. I love it, but love the Korg more. Jury is still out, since I do need a backup.
