Dschultze, a very well articulated and fair review. It has been at least 6 months since I have played the Korg and maybe they have addressed and reprogrammed some endings in the recent OS upgrades, but I am surprised that you did not notice or comment on the lack of short endings in most of the Korg styles. When you need to end the song quickly and do not want a 2-3 bar ending, the Korg comes up way short for me. The only way to do it is to probably use a "synchro end" setting... Yamaha always provides a short ending and this makes the styles so much more usable.

P.S. I auditioned the Roland G-70 at NAMM and it had no short endings either.
