Hi Tracknet,

I don't know how many more times I have to say this but the differences between Korg PA-80 and PA-50 are not that big (basically they include: aftertouch,microphone in, and sample card load which the PA-50 does not sport. The difference between the PA-60 and the PA-50 are very minor indeed. As for the length of the keys, it is of no concern to me personally.Sound and Style wise they are fully identical and compatible, hence my current new software can be loaded into all of these three models............

Don,
looking forward to hear about your vicissitudes with the Ketron SD1. Don't forget to contact Roel who is quite busy with the Korg PA1X as you know , but who has retained his SD1 and knows every in and out about this keyboard, or so I would gather.........
