Mike I can play & perform with any arranger on the market as I have done having so many models.......the PA800 is by far the closest thing on the market to being the Perfect Live Performance Arranger KB for sure....it has so many quality PRO features that are in many ways superior and well thought out by its designers....yes it has some faults like they all do ....but its more of a PERSONAL NEEDS issue versus anything wrong with the keyboard. Lets face it we are living in a high tech age of electronic marvels that really supercedes anything just a few short years ago in regards to instruments.....If I had to say anything it would be that Korg needs to provide much more in the styles department there simply isnt enough available for MY Needs......that's something that Yamaha, Ketron, Roland, have in their favor bar none....I like Korg styles very much with their 16 bar loops and just the way the progress thru variations with very cool dynamic changes throughout etc, etc, .....I miss that & I miss the excellent TC Helicon vocal harmonizer alot too BIG TIME!

. I'll be OK for now, but be assured I have my eyes open for the next WAVE of KB arrangers to come to market of which I am very optimistic & excited that this next time we will be very happy with what we are gonna see in the arranger world for sure!!
