Thanks Spalding, that's just what I wanted to hear!

I intend to use this board for Live gigs, (covers) and in the (home) studio (our originals) - so power and flexibility is paramount!

I'm a little nervous changing boards after so long (bought the VA-7 in early 2001).

After learning so much about the VA-7 I also must say it was one of the most underrated keyboards around!

If you know enough about it, you can make it jump through a LOT of hoops - and I hope the new boards can match all of it's sounds (and more).

When I played with the G-70 recently I noticed an improvement, but not the quantum leap I was expecting - however 1. That's more a compliment to the VA-7 and 2. I really didn't audition ALL the sounds and it didn't have an expansion board plugged in.


Hope the PAX-1's 32 meg of memory for sampling is enough (what's up with THAT???)

Any other suggestions or comments??????

It's betwen the PAX1-pro and the G-70 now!

(Thanks for all your help so far - great forum as always!!! - I'm a long time reader/member, seldom post).

Oh... does the PAX-1 have an easy to use OS - especially in regards to editing Midi Files? Apparently the G-70 Midi Sequence editing is so powerful it's almost like a low-end PC program!

I don't want to have to go running to Sonar etc whenever I want to make some edits/tweaks!
