Oh, I should clear this up:

1. I was thinking of selling the motif es (hard to operate. Can be easy when enough time to spend) and the midjay (sound!) and get the psr 3000 instead: Less stuff to fiddle around with means more time for music.
2. Keybed is not an issue as it is wasted on me. I am playing the difficult parts with a midiguitar
3. I love the motif sounds, the midjay is soso to my ears: When you edit the patterns and change sounds apart from drums and bass you find, many sounds do sound quite the same in the mix. Means: Some single voices sound good but tend to loose a lot in the style-mix - maybe due to the efx section. Not much variety in the drum section either though in your face sounding (but never the motif quality!). And the acclaimed ketron drumgrooves are sliced wavebits and lack punch and clarity. All subjective, my 2 c. So I can see getting tired soon of the sound variety.

Well, you canīt have it all. Will a psr 3000 be an easy to use and carry replacement for midjay and motif, combining the best of both worlds for less money, less space and sure enough some drawbacks? I do not tweak sounds at all, only need very good styles (R&B, latin, jazz and some old stuff from the 50s and 60s like twist, r&r - but no waltz, polka, country) with realistic (1) fills that are not overdone and can be used for songwriting. Drum, bass (acoustic), organ and brass sounds are important. Synths not so much.

What do you think? Best regards,
