Diki,
I agree, if you don't have the samples done right...'foget about it'!
Sorry about the Mona Lisa thing...but it struck me as especialy beauitful. And the sounds were great. I don't play all my music that laid back! I am the kind of guy that must have a seat near the first violin section when I go to symphony.

Diki, correct as usual..the orchestration, playing is what makes the performance...BUT ar least for me, the instrumet, specially the sound has to be inspiring! I guess that's why I have a Kurzweil.

I just want to play it, I don't have time ori the real interest n being a sound engineer..not that I won't tweek a sound some.

Diki, your the first to say it...how the sounds work together is a big deal, and Yamaha has nailed that. Yes, a bit distant...but, I turned up the volume and it dd seem better.

Yes, I plan on using my PK-5 pedal board.

I guess all along I wanted a Yamaha Stagea...this is close...maybe better!

Actually this is bitter sweet. I really want a Korg to sound that good...as I prefer the features and many things on it to the Yamaha. But, this time sound will be the deciding factor.
