Thanks, I appreciate you replying!

I am exploring the differences between BK9 and Pa900. There are some very appealing features to each one of them, some strong and weak points to both and I tell you, you cannot win something without loosing something else. Of course it's a matter of getting used to the tools, in a sense it's no debate over subject.

It's just too bad these instruments are not easily accessible in my area. I know it is the same all over. There's nothing like testing and getting the flavor of each one of them. Reading the forums or watching YouTube only leaves you wanting.

The best thing about BK9, or at least the one that makes it special in my view, is the AudioKey feature. That only is a good enough reason for prospecting it. I think the next big step will be when not only tempo but pitch will be adjustable and playable in real time, so a (even user produced) loop will be available to use in perfect sync with the onboard style. I don't know if the actual processing power would be enough for that,
but I see it happening. Roland will be smart doing that. Would even match Audya (to a point...)!

Pa900 gives a lot for the money. Nothing revolutionary really, but packed with features. But again, there are things I still cannot adjust to. Great sounds though.

Thank you!
