Thanks again Bill for your input. I agree about the canned sound in Yamaha Styles. They're getting better as time goes by but it is still noticable even in the Tyros like you say. If you haven't already heard, Korg has some new demos of the Pa-1XPro. Here is the link: http://www.korgpa.com/support/demo.asp?player=pa1xpro These will give everybody a good idea how the individual voices sound plus how they sound with Style backing. PS: They finally got the Distorted Guitar to sound like a REAL Distorted Guitar. Kudos! to Korg for that significant improvement. The Drums sound absolutely fantastic! Much better than the Tyros imo or even the Ketron SD1. The Horns are very good imo. Acoustic Guitars are great too. And the Organ is really, really, good! Korg is noted for great Organ sounds. But they still haven't got the Accordian just right. It is pretty good but it still lacks that authentic Accordian sound imo. But there may be better Accordian sounds on the Pa-1X/Pro than the one in the demo. And I agree Bill the Styles just have more Pizzaz. More expansive and natural sounding too. It really creates a Live! Band sound. It's just like your in the audience listening to a real Band on a stage.

Now if we can just convince Korg to change its mind to increase the Polyphony before production of the Pa-1X/Pro starts.

Best regards,
Mike

NOTE: The demos should be downloaded because they're longer than the Previews and will give a person a better idea of how the Pa-1XPro really sounds.
