I don't play a lot of sax solo's, but I more than make up for it with trumpet, trombone and flute. I decided if I have to choose between playing the chord properly and making my horns sound authentic I would go with the latter. IMO, folks will notice a "dead" horn before they notice a wrong arranger bass line. Still I try only to use the pitch bend when I can REMAIN on ONE chord. If I have to deflower the chord, I keep it to probably under a second. Just long enough to put some life into the horn line.

I'm playing a Roland board, and I still, after years playing Roland, can't get used to the "sideways" action. The best axe I ever played was the DX7 where you could hang your hand right on the corner of the keyboard and make both wheels really effective.

Not crazy about the placement of the Ketrons, though I'm still considering buying one for sound quality.
