Hello Danny, eyal, Ilija,

I read a lot about the VA-7 and heard the demo CD many times (I have it at home: attention eyal - I have already heard the demo!).
I have to admit that the demo sounded very very nice and I enjoyed it very much, but on the other hand I absolutely agree with Danny, that the most important impression I will get after playing the keyboard.
Your postings, eyal, are fully unbalanced (as Danny wrote), because you have been writing poems, how perfect the VA-7 is, which incredible sounds it has and how perfect the demo sounds etc. But you have never written about user interface and how it is easy to play (I sort the keyboard how they can play ALL songs, not only the demo ones). And you have never mentioned how easy is to change a variation together with instrument or transpose together with variation changing, how fast a instrument can be chosen, if you can change variation and "one touch settings" together between two beats during live performance and so on. These are the features I use 90% of my live playing time.
I have not played the VA-7 yet, but after having played the G-1000 and EM-2000 (which are two most user-unfriendly keyboards I have ever played), I am a little bit sceptic.

At the end: 3649 instruments!!! That is sooo funny!! How many from them are you able to use? How many will you ever hear? Are you able to remember how these 3649 instruments are sounding? (I know, I have problems with 331 instruments on the PSR 9000). Are you able to recognize at least one fifth of these instruments? In Germany we say: "You won't see the forest because of the trees!"

Regards

Marek
