After contacting the Italian Manufacturer and speaking with a few folks and downloading specifications, I think I'm not interested. I contacted the customer of mine who has an older one, bought an XD3 from me about 2 months ago and doesn't like how hard the Ketron is compared to his Orla and found out that all he uses his orla for is for sounds. He likes that he can layer quickly and easily and adjust with the faders the sounds he wishes to use. I explained to him how you can layer sounds in the program mode of the Ketron but he doesn't want to have to pre-program things before hand and this is why he uses and likes the orla better.
After finding out that they come with only 90 built in styles, 3 variations and not very many user locations to store your own styles, I've decided this is not for me or my customers. The majority of my customers are keyboard players and want styles. That's why they buy arranger products. This customer doesn't use styles at all.
Thanks for all you advice.
