As a matter of fact Joe they are the ones next on my list of variables and of course they may alter the style rather drastically if applied properly.

Gary,

I know, my first keyboard was the Roland E70 and though it could only be tweaked in a very limited fashion people could not believe the piano sound that came out of mine!! By the way I do admire your tenacity with the PSR3000. It is a good keyboard I had it myself for a while and I am sure you will enjoy the PSR950 in time.

Bill and Fran,

I have never paid too much attention to Midi or Audio drumtracks but rather to the overall impression/sound. I always cut down the reverb on drums and often percussion as well to a bare minimum. Nearly twenty years ago I had the Solton MS50 (Ketron these days) and their drum sounds then where lightyears ahead of the competition. Last year I had the Ketron SD5 for a short while and the drums in there were again impressive to say the least...

Overall I simply wanted to point out how much can be achieved with virtually any arranger keyboard if you take the time and effort to get to know it properly and make it work for you. In that respect I can well understand folks like you Fran and Diki who still think the world of their G70 ( which personally I do not like all that much) and who know how to handle and tweak it to their heart's content.

regards,
John
