... and to add on to what George mentioned above, your dealer was WRONG about the MIDIJAY.

1. There is only ONE module with various OS (1, 2 and the latest is 3.0). If you get one with 2.0, you can download 3.0 from the web and install yourself (relatively easy).

2. The midijay has a Groove section which is just LIVE drum beats. Some of the grooves also have LIVE arrangements which you cannot change. However if you play the STYLES of the Midijay WITHOUT an external Controller (which is probably what your dealer did), then you will get only the drums of the style. The arranger will not play UNTIL you input a chord for it to play the arrangement off of. In terms of arranger playback, it's like the SD1 with a few missing arranger features e.g Pattern EDIT (to create your own patters) ...etc.

3. If you just want to be able to play great styles and have those great Ketron voices, the Midijay is just fine, however if you require a TRUE arranger with more ARRANGER FEATURES, then the XD3 is worth getting.

PS: George Kaye, welcome back!

Thanks
