Diki...I have continually criticized all my arrangers & I have owned many....they ALL have flaws...but some flaws can be manipulated with workarounds to the USERS NEEDS...lets take my current ax....Yamaha S900.........

terrible angled display, in a sitting position its almost impossible to view while playing needs a manual tilt at the very least...the 3k had the same display BUT a different body design which made the entire unit angle upwards a bit more.

Toy like VH that sounds like a KAZOO, breaks up, very unnatural sounding but with a bit of tweaking it could be used very sparingly....but in NO WAY is PRO Quality compared to TC Helicon, or Digitech

MFD is totally useless for live stage navigation because it doesn't save some parameters like Transpose.

Rear inputs/AC are in the worst position possible (middle) for someone who uses a APEX stand.....these should be extreme right or left.

USB should have FRONT ACCESS


But I make it work for me somehow......by passing all the above.

I really would like to try a SD5 one of the few I haven't gotten my hands on yet but Don Mason loves his he tells me BUT can you find one around here ? NO!!


so there Diki....I said it & I'm sticking to it!!
