Thanks Squeak...I was waiting for your reply...I'll be taking some time away from the forum to work on some very interesting recording projects.

I see you've already posted about the new Korg MS-20...wow, is all I can say, especially at the that wicked price. I've worked with the original, and it is an extremely flexible and powerful mono-synth (that sells for major bucks second hand), so the new model should follow in it's footsteps judging by the specs. It's also nice to see they made the mini-keys a bit larger...the ones on their MicroArranger were horrible for my big fingers.

I'll be trying out the Casio XW-P1 this weekend.

Let me know if you try either of the new Korg synths (the KingKorg looks awesome, too) and what you think of them; I value your opinion on synths...my email is in my profile.
