I'm rather surprised at the 32 note poly as well...once you start layering sounds, that sometimes can be a problem.
If it's anything like the PSR-E423/E423, it will be a pretty cool instrument...they sound very good, especially for the money, and the poly was 32 and didn't seem to affect playability.
My girlfriend has an NP-30, and the 32 note poly hasn't been a problem, and she is an experienced player.
I hope we see and hear some demos soon.

Cool! Thats good to know Ian. I did try the NP-30 on one of my trips to the "big-smoke", and to be honest, for the price point, it is a remarkable little keyboard, and I was sroely tempted to grab one, just as a spare axe for those slightly smaller gigs where its just piano playing-no vocals no lights, no laptop...You know what I mean!!
I still might, BUT if this little baby has the same main piano sound as the NP30 (which as I said in my view, was not too shabby at all

) I might wait for it instead...
Especially as early indications have it at a price-point of about a grand (our money..the pacific peso!!)
