Oh come on, John...Scott knows full well I'm only kidding with him, as does Nigel.

I tease Scott twice as much on Skype, and it's become a great joke.

Lighten up, buddy...I have said many times the KMA was a stroke of genius on Korg's part.

That still doesn't mean I like mini-keys...I despise them...thankfully, I don't have to ever use them.

Ian, this is exactly how I feel about Yamaha keys...Especially the PSR series...and yes even the Tyros too...They are too light and undersized ...To think I would have to play such keys as my primary keyboard...would be too much...At least to me, the Korg MicroArranger is a novelty..and no it would not be a keybed I would want to play all the time.....but to me , not much different from the PSR stuff..You can rave about the so called great Tyros4 keybed, but I know better..I have good keybeds, that are worth raving about


I guess this post is just to illustrate that we both dislike certain keys because of size...and my dislike didn't stop at mini, in includes the undersized Yamaha too..

I also dislike the Roland Juno series (exception of Juno Stage), too light and toyish feel, although not undersized as the Yamaha higher end models..

I know folks will claim how fast the PSR keys are etc, but we know it is just a non expressive player that enjoys this concept....most folks understand my point..

The touch and response of the keys may be the single most important thing on any keyboard...maybe more than the sound..Don't believe me...Play a mediocre sound on a great keybed, and play a great sound on a well lets say a PSR keybed...
