HI BEBOP ,I LIKE MY PA1X PRO, but it is a diferent ballgame from technics what you used to, had this board since april, 20 gig drive, the key feel exelent sounds are nice, no speakers, can play it through my kn 6500, harmonizer not at all like technics, you can use sample sounds and create samples, good forums, the german one is exellent,I love it and do not regret getting it,this is my opinion only,if you can try one out do so, i am still ex ploring it, lots of add ons,but not cheap . BEST REGARDS BENNO
