my first arranger type keyboard was the yamaha djx ... for 179 dollars it was nice...and it can run on batteries!
Then I bought the pa80! I loved it! Then I kept being bothered by the chord problem I described above! I use to play LEFT hand Bass Lines and Right hand chords ... years ago with m1 korg and xp-80 roland boards ... but now with auto accompliment I'm back to fancy chords with my left hand and Solos and fills,ect with my Right hand ...Yamaha so far gets my vote. I did try to "get use to it" with the PA80 but ... it cramped my style... sounds like Uncle Dave plays the way I use to play and maybe it's not a problem for him. Sychopasion right hand playing is a Bummer on Pa80 ...
Do you guys think Korg can fix this? Or is it the operating system ... If they could I wouldn't mind a 3rd keyboard ...in addition to my djx and psr9000!
I loved the light weight and some of the styles and sounds of the pa80 ... when I graduated to the psr9000 and the sampler, and vocalizer and better speakers, and all the support I got from the psr styles and song forum ... I've been very happy. I don't gig anymore ... but use to! So the psr9000 stays mostly at home! But I fully understand some of you guys who complained about the prs9000 and prs9000 pro being too heavy to lug around! I can do it ! But if I had to do it every night ... I'd have to get a metal kitchen table with wheels that Target sells ... got the tip from one of these forums!
If the pa60 could address the chord issue I would buy it as inbetween portable board!
