took my E60 in for warranty work on d-beam and tap tempo today. hope to have it back soon, they said d-beam
may have just a bad solder connection. hope so.

after playing the E60 for hours, i took my Korg is35 to the
little Italian restaurant gig tuesday night. it was first night
of a probable steady so didn't want to have nav problems, just stay with the familar kb until ready. I gotta admit, i was dragged by the 61 keys, the key feel and the sound of my Korg after the Roland. Just a big letdown, I could nav like a champ but i couldn't get my head into a groove until 2nd set. Was like I had a new kb and trying to adjust.

Carlos Peluzza, a famous timbale player from Lima who has been with the Fania All-Stars and Tito Puente, came
in on last set and played my keys. He sounded good and
he's used to a Triton, so he liked it. so it's not like I was kidding myself about my Korg, it's just that the E60 blows
it away in sound and feel. All the more frustrating that there is so little player control for live gigs. won't go into detail, been there, done that earlier on.

Are there people that can reprogram an OS? there are enough buttons to do all i need, but they are not assigned with a live player in mind. That would be a better alternative to controller/module. No weight problem w/
the E60, has monitor speakers, great sounds/styles/tone edit/mixer/etc..Not sure Midjay will be as good..anyone
want to compare Midjay sounds/styles to say, G70, which
more of you are familiar with--should be similar to E60.
