You are the only one I know of to have both, but for all I know, it may apply to any modern keyboard. I told Captain Russ I would see how my remaining SD2 module worked with my PA-800 before selling it to him. What I found out boggled my mind.

First of all, I don't use midi with style playing because I don't know enough about CC messages. My KN7000 has very extensive midi implemention, but is confusing to configure(to me). However, I hooked it up to my PA800 and I was on my way in twenty minutes after reading Korg's very concise instructions.

All I had to do was allow CC messages, stay on default ch 1,and block messages from accomp. The amazing thing to me is that by choosing a "Performance" on the PA800, it automatically changed to that family of sounds on the SD2. From there I can go into the different instruments in that family on the SD2. From there I go to the different sounds, and the corresponding sounds will be selected on the SD2.

With Local On, I can easily make luscious combi's with the balance slider on the PA800, and the volume slider on the SD2. The best part is I can save the whole thing as a new registration, name it, and put it in my Songbook as if the SD2 wasn't attached.

Wheras the PA800 has great sounds, I, in effect ,have at least doubled my sonic palette, and believe me, the SD2 has some of the best sax,organs, trumpets, and woodwinds out there.

Sorry for going on, but the possibilities are simply overwhelming.

Sorry Russ, I have to keep the SD2 now.
