There ARE still a bunch of us that LIKE that 'sound', the punchy live aspect (I play in live bands all the time, and no way a Yamaha would cut through a real drummer!), and if I wanted a Yamaha type sound, I would get a Yamaha, not hope that Roland make something JUST like a Yamaha!

Trouble is, of course, if you really NEED a module, it's the only affordable game in town. Yamaha are about as likely to bring out a module as they are a 76 Tyros!

Go and listen to the BK, by all means. But I'll save you the trouble of thinking about buying it... If you like a PSR S910, get one of those!


Diki,

Thanks for you view/advise.

I am open to the BK7m because the drums from Roland are usually better (lively) than the Yamaha ones, but a little afraid of the sounds (pianos, guitar, etc).
I have been a Korg arranger person for some time now ( a Ketron person at Church until recently), but Korg does not have an arranger module. My ideal setup will be a light module that I can move between home and Church with Midi controllers in each site.
BUT..... I hear that Ketron is coming with a new module at Musikmesse, smaller than the Midjay and 4 times powerful.
