Al,

All those gadgets are nice but not worth $ 1000. Who in the world needs a 40gb HD? You can also install one in the Pa800 for $40 max. As far as sliders go, you can buy a behringer midi mixer for less than $100 and have many sliders and potentiometers. As far as sampling ram goes, I never managed to fill more than 30mb in any keyboard. I think that it's a rip off from Korg not to make keys that use standard computer ram. I am certainly not going to pay them over $ 200 for their SPECIAL ram .

Jes, I wish Kurzweil would make an arranger ! What do you guys think?
