If you purchase an SD1 , it can be updated with new OS 4.0 .
I also believe that the guitar strum imulation is better on the SD1 vs. the VA76 or 9000pro .
When you listen to the Sd1 styles , guitar strums are all over the place . Acoustic guitar strums can be found on style 8beat 04 and 16 beat 01 . Ask a salesperson if they know how to isolate a part of the style .
Chord 2 of these styles have the guitar parts .
Also ...listen to the great vocal sounds and vocal drum kits ! They are very unique vs. the other keyboards .
See if your salesperson can add a volumne pedal and check out the wha -wha effect under the ON LINE EFFECTS button . Select a rock guitar sound and apply the wha - wha . It is a totally cool tool !
OH ...no vocal harmony kit or hard drive on the VA76 . A hard drive can be added to the 9000pro , but 6 gigs is already on the SD1 .
If you buy an SD1 , make sure the OS is at least 3.0b .
If the OS is not 3.0b , you know the keyboard has been in the stores inventory for a while . dano in baltimore
