One of the first things my buddy noticed and complained about the G1000 was note dropout...I imagine he plays differently than you, Diki, my friend...consider using a sound in the left, eight accompaniment parts and two sounds layered in the right...not much to work with after that...especially if a voice uses two tones.

He also does quite a bit of multitracking.

Also, considering he wasn't that enamored with the organs, guitars or the piano,(he really liked the pads and strings) the main reasons he bought it (other than the low price) was for the 76 note keyboard and the style backing, and he is planning to use a couple of Emu modules with it,(Classic Keys, and the B-3 Organ module)...that should also eliminate the poly issue.

I'm not going to argue with you about the poly problems...I'm just the messenger...he says it is an issue, and he's a pro, so 'nuff said about that.

If it was up to me, I wouldn't waste my money on one...I think he should have held out and bought a G70 (a much more mature home keyboard than the G1000), or a dedicated controller...but he wanted the styles, and I guess the price ($500) was right...it is in cherry condition (hardly played), and it does sound much better through the two Bose than his single system.
