Hi Ron,
my 2 cents worth.
I'm inclined to agree with Donny, current range of Korgs definately ( can't comment on earlier models as I haven't owned one since the i2 series). My pa800 has a number of style creation tools,( can be quite a learning curve though) .
Roland's used to be good, ( haven't had one since the VA7) & they've no doubt gotten better.

Ketron I couldn't recommend, it lacks a lot of the editing/creation functions that the korg has.

Yamaha is fairly reliant on 3rd party software to get the same sort of editing & style creation functions available in the korg ( & probably Roland).

my order of preference would probly be

1.Korg ( I own a PA800 & sort of know how it works )
2. Roland ( 2nd, only because I don't currently own one, & I can only go on what I remember)
3.Yamaha ( currently own PSR1500)
4.Ketron ( currently own SD1+)
best wishes
Rikki
