The styles Jürgen Sartorius played are on both the stick and the PA500 Musikant keyboard.


Thanks Frans, it doesn't get much clearer than that.

I did some "surfing" last night and found those demo's on the German site. They really whet my appetite for playing. I particularly like the Big Bands and the Cha-Cha.

The ones I've heard here are too sterile, too clean...not a lot of "feel" to them. But then again with that many styles on the machine, I'm sure I haven't heard them all.

The arranger market here is so sad. If you want a high end keyboard, you have to go with the "luck of the draw!" Buy one and hope it's what you're looking for, 'cause at $4,000, and with our current economic situation, you're not going to be able to unload it that easy!

I'm going to look further into what styles are available and "where?" But I'll wait until I see what's unveiled at the winter NAMM before making a decision.

Lucky
