...not enough on board Jazz/Big Band styles. But I've found work arounds for my needs, I'm sure you can too. There are some third party styles available. Rikki helped by sending me some of her big band jazz styles and they filled in a gap.



Hi Steve,

I didn't know you played Korgs. I was so obsessed with the Ketron I guess I didn't hear anything else anyone said.

Yes, "big band, etc" is important to me. I do a lot of it. But my guess is that you won't see a lot of big band on any of the keyboards these days as the newer players have trouble recognizing a "waltz" even. So, I figured I'll have to do what you suggested...wing it.....work around it. (and maybe Rikki would grace me with those styles too?)

Steve....this is it for me. If I buy this Korg I'm going to spend a lot of time learning it's features...and revamp my left hand accompaniment to make use of the extra keys by playing left hand melody against the right hand. And if I DON'T go for it, maybe just an S900 or a Roland GW8.

Lucky
