Folks,

I thought it would be a good idea (added to the Ketron Workshop) to include all the prominante Arrangers so it gives many of you and others a chance to finally get to a spot where you can try ALL the good boards and then decide for yourself.

THE FIRST WORKSHOP HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR ...

DATE. Saturday, Jan 7th, 2006
Time: 12pm - 6pm
Location: Washington Music Center (Wheaton, MD, USA)... KEYBOARD DEPARTMENT! (301-946-8808).

I will be conducting a massive Arranger show-fest plus detailed Ketron Workshop with the following keyboards:-

GEM - Genesys Pro.
KETRON - SD1Plus-EXP, XD9, MIDIJAY.
KORG - PA1X-PRO (and OASIS for comparisons).
ROLAND - G70 (at last).
YAMAHA - TYROS2 (and Motif ES7 for comaprisons).

You are all welcomed and please let me know about attendace before we finalize this next week.

Again, although it will predominantly be a Ketron Workshop, I will also go into some details with the other arrangers offering differences in features, sounds, styles, other unique capabilities ...etc. It will also be an oppertunity to finally try these out of the SAME PA system and make up YOUR minds as to what you think. Again, where you decide to eventually purchase these is up to you.

Your prompt feedback is welcomed.

Thanks and happy holidays!!

AJ
