Thank you Lukitoh,
no doubt the casio's sound great, but I'm a style nut, and what I'm actually after is an inexepensive keyboard that loads and plays psr styles.
Strange thing to say, but the sounds are actually irrelavent to me. If they're good, then great, if not, doesn't matter either.
The one thing I do need is for it to be able to load a psr style.
I'm not sure if what I'm planning to do will actually work but,
I want the keyboard to be able to load and play the style, but for the sound source I'll actually be using my laptop & Hypercanvas softsynth instead of the keyboards sounds ie keyboard will be midied to laptop.

I used to do this back in the early 90's when most of the arranger keyboards had pretty poor sounds, I used to midi keyboard up to an array of synthesizer & sampler sound modules. But this time round instead of sound modules, I'm hoping I can do it with my laptop and softsynths.

Reason for a psr style instead of korg or roland etc is that there are a number of freebie programs online to help with psr style creation, plus Jos's One Man Band program is really great for editing and creating psr styles from midifile etc, I'm even using it as my realtime arranger at the moment. So it doesn't really matter whether I can do any style editing in the keyboard itself.

I just enjoy experimenting (haa haa)

thanks guys

best wishes
Rikki
