Of course styles will sound better on the kb they are designed for,
and so it is whatever brand we convert to / from. As long as it is
not within the same kb brand, it's even harder to tweak before the
result are fairly good/playable.
At the end I guess it all come down to our personal taste and needs,
also to what kind of musicstyle we usually play.

No doubt about that Yamaha are great stuff, but in my ears it can't
compete to the SD1 in the "live way" sounding, the "keyfeel" at the
SD1 are also really good if you ask me, and yet there are no Yamaha
or other arranger kb's that I've seen who are close to Technics KN
regarding to the easy, smooth and userfriendly composer and editing
functions.

As said as many times before at SZ's forums, give us a keyboard who
have the best from all brands, that would have been something, eh?

Happy playing, exploring and enjoying your new Yamababy Roel
