Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight is one of my most requested songs.
Here is a link to a folder with my recordings of it on four different arrangers, Korg PA4X, Ketron SD7, Yamaha PSR S970 and Roland EA7.
They were all done live on the job and may have mistakes, but if you have opinions on the various keyboards, I'd love to hear them.

Wow, fabulous as usual Don. I preferred the E-A7 version, next is the SD7.

Roland EA-7 and Ketron SD7 both excellent and tied for First IMHO.
S 970 a solid 2nd
Guitar on the Korg PA4X too chorusy ... but otherwise great performance
My 2 cents

Interesting that the Yamaha and the Korg styles were both converted from a midi file to style. I converted the Korg with the built-in midi-to-style bot.
The Roland and Ketron used factory styles.
Thanks guys.

Well, it's 4X hands down for drum pattern, and sounds. I would thin out the backing guitars a bit, since you're so good at the lead guitar. I like a less present, more lush backing behind the lead line, myself. They're all good, but the EA7 had too heavy a kick sound for me. Nice job, all around ... AS USUAL.
You're a brave man to ask for critiques on this platform.

I agree with everyone. smile

Overall sound, I would rate the SD7, EA7,PSR970, PA4x.

Guitar (lead), EA7, SD7, PSR970, PA4x.

Balance, EA7, PSR970, SD7, PA4x.

Style, EA7, SD7, PA4x, PSR970.


Don I suspect you got the answer you expected.

My guess you were thinking about the SX900 (should be better than the PSR970) smile

Ketron is a bit overpriced compared to some others. frown

You already know the EA-7 you now have is the one.. and unsurpassed bang for the buck smile

And maybe Dave could use an extra PA4x grin

Almost forgot, all are damned good renditions, Don.
