I actually disagree with Dikki on this topic (I know, sacrilege!)

I don't buy new keyboards to "Play" better, I buy new keyboards to "Sound" better.

And as yet, I have yet to find the perfect keyboard that meets my "Core" wants and needs perfectly.

And I "AM" a tweaker, I make new sounds and styles all the time, however, most of today's arrangers have some deficiency that prohibits me from using those sounds and/or styles.

For instance, I created many sounds for the Tyros2, however, it took 5 minutes to load them everytime I booted the darn thing? On a gig with a voltage spike and a re-boot that's 5 minutes of dead air time!

On the Korg it's even worse, If I create a new style that uses a new sound or sample, and save it to a user location on the Style selection buttons, then update the keyboard with the latest and greatest Operating system, I lose all of that, despite a restore from disk!!!!!

So, I keep hoping a manufacturer get's it right in terms of the specific features that I need.
