i said it once and i'll say it again and this time with a proof,the first time i said maybe tHis forum is slow because GEM users don't have as many problems as others do,well i've ben using my WK8 since it came out and i owned prior to that a WK4 and prior to that a GEM WS1 so total of allmost 10 years of general music products,during these years i also owned along with that a roland G800,EM2000(both sold)and few days ago i got the famous solton X1,the number of problems i experienced with my GEM keybords during all these years are allmost less than i can count on one hand fingers,where in the other hand in about 3 days with my X1 it froze up on me about a douzen of times,same thing with the roland in particular the EM2000,without mentioning the great flexibility of the WK8 that puts all the rest of keyboards that i mentiond to shame when it comes to editing and interface capability,the only thing that GEM product lakes is the sounds quality but with 40 mb of sample memory that issu was eliminated as i allready sampled about 20 mb of new samples,don't misunderstand me the x1 is a great arranger no more no less but it's way over priced.
conclusion the reason you don't see a lot of posting here is because GEM users :
ARE HAPPY .
