i have just purchased a ketron sd1+....the roland e-50 keys just didnt feel right (after an 88 note weighted board!!!) the pa800, whilst a solid performer, just lacked, hmmm, cant describe it, but it just didnt grab me...the new yammie s900 ahs been delayed so i found out due to some "problems" software or hardware i couldnt find out, but it has been delayed which means it wont hit Oz til about sept/oct.....and i got a GREAT deal on the brand new sd1+... i had not even contemplated this board, until a chance phone call to the dealer asking after a midjay, and i cannot believe everything it does....absolutley bloody brilliant, and it sounds brilliant as well...another interesting thing i found out was that the pa800 is actually built by ketron in their italian factory!!!(the sd1+ actuallly has the same keybed as the pa1xpro) and i was told most , if not all, of korg's italian branded keyboards are made by ketron!! so there ya go...
anyway i cannot wait for the 2 days until delivery, so i can "open the box"...
cheers
