NO sense sugar-coating it, but I got a fantastic deal on a "slightly" dented kb from our buddy, DanO. He shipped it overnight, and I had it fitted with a hard drive and loaded with a few hundred midi files in time for a 6pm downbeat that same night. (tonight, in fact!)

The new O/S has some major enhancements to the beta version, and although the sampling does not interest me - the navigation alone was worth the upgrade. They also fixed the manual bass selection that was screwy before.

Now, if they can only fix the harmonizer to respond like a tradition one should, and NOT like a vocoder.

I had a surprising night with it. The speakers are a little sensitive, compared to my Farfisa G7 and the Yamaha psr2k, but the sound is very good. It's easy to overdrive them, especialll with strong vocals and solid bass. (no surprise there)

Now, I'm extra curious about the sound system in the PA60. It's billed as lower in power, but who knows? It might just be better!
