I'd like to hitchhike onto this question.
I have a store credit and have to make a
decision on a new kb to supercede my Korg i..
I too have kind of narrowed it down to pa800
and s900. I had a very brief 15-min tryout of
the pa and was very impressed with the sound
quality. I'm waiting for local stores to get
s900 on the floor so i can try one. but when
I do there will not likely be a pa800 also
on the floor that i can compare a/b.
As primarily a standards/jazz/latin/blues
player who uses only 12-18 sounds, mostly
just bass/drum parts of arranger backings,
no smf's, no sequencing..no voc harmonizing
even though I sing, both kb's offer a whole
lot of features I will never likely use.
my main concerns are key feel, sound quality,
ease of storing and accessing favorite sounds
on-the-fly, ease of moving style-to-style,
ease of muting parts withins styles, quality
of fills and endings, good chord recognition
re the bass lines, good "walking" bass lines,
logical development of var.1-4, and above
all, great bass/drum backing in the genres
I play in, not boring clunky rhythms.
can anyone give me any insights/advice too?
