Clif,
The Karma sounds like it has some unique features. Though not technically an arranger keyboard, it certainly has many features of an arranger board. I have always loved Korg's fresh and exciting sounds (used to own the 01/W) but I always thought their one weak point was in the (less than desirable) acoustic piano sounds as demonstrated in the(disappointintg) PA80. Can you please tell us how the Karma acoustic piano samples sound? Hope they aren't the same samples as used in the PA80.

Interested in hearing if/how this board could be set up to be used as a one man band auto-accompaniment keyboard. Does the Karma actually have styles (patterns) which you trigger by playing chords or? Please clarify. Thanks.
