I have liked the Ketron sound since I had the X1. I have had the Tyros for a year and I usually change about once a year.
Hank the Lurker got a Midjay this week, and hearing it revived my interest. It so happened Dan had a used SD1 for sale, and it so happened a lady had recently heard me at a nursing home and told me if I ever wanted to sell the Tyros to let her know.
Within about one hour, I made DanO an offer, made the lady an offer, and now I'm waiting for the SD1, which should arrive about Friday. I told the buyer here that she would have to wait until after my casino job Monday night to get the Tyros. My net dollar output will be zero.
Also, she has a Roland G800 that she hasn't played much in the past couple of years (she also has a Cascio WK3500). I told her that I would post it for her in case anyone was interested. It is in real good condition.
I know I will miss some of the OS features of the Tyros, and some of the sounds. I also know I will enjoy the 76 keys, the live-sounding drums and bass, and some of the other features of the SD1.
If I don't like it well enough, it will be for sale soon! But I'm counting on my liking it.
Scott, the new OS of the SD1 reportedly has added quite a few new sounds and "cleaned up" many of the older ones.
We'll see!
