I used to own the SK 76 arranger keyboard and I have to say that it was a few years ahead of its time. It could play wav files even before any of the others could and the sound would be assigned to each key with no problems. It was also one of the first arrangers with a 32 track sequencer built-in. Granted it was not without its quirks (Song Error 4--The most dreaded error message you could ever get from the keyboard---this meant that you're screwed---and that all the work you did on the song----is pretty much unrecoverable----unless you had divine intervention).

It the nicest sax sound at the time. And a large screen to boot.

I used to check harmonycentral every year during NAMM to see if they came out with anything new to replace the SK76 and they did with the Genesys.....but since then, nothing. I miss my SK (sold it) and it is a shame to learn that GEM could be no more. I hope it makes a great comeback like Alesis did.

Peace out
