JCkeeys,

I thought the same thing about my X1 at first. I was using the master volume at about 1 or two on a scale of ten and then turning up my PA. I now set the X1 to a little over middle and turn down the gain on the PA. That fixed most of the noise problems. I even sent it in to Solton only to find out it was me.

The pianos are OK, sax, flutes, organs very good. I've had none of the other problems experienced by Beakybird. From reading his posts I feel that Beakybird bought his X1 with negative feelings and reservations right from the start.

Everytime I quit playing I walk away with a smile on my face. I love that keyboard. It is sooo cool.

Try a little "The Christmas Song" on style A14, or "Spooky" with style A53 or "Mellow Yellow" on style A52 varations A and B.

I'm having a ball with mine.
