I am totally on board with you John. It's a $499 arranger ... what do people expect they are getting for that price ... the keybed doesn't matter at that price.
I think there was pure
brilliance demonstrated with Korg's repackaging of
10 year old technology into a
cool little instrument that appears to have sparked (one might even say "exploded") the interest of quite a few SZ'ers, with some defending it quite passionatly.
It's certainly is well worth $499.
You must be at least considering getting one, are you Nigel?
