Offcourse i am aware of the style and sound quallity of the SD7... playing the Ketron instruments is somehow more immersive...
Whats currently witholding us from the SD7 compared to the PA3x is the following
-There are no pads on it.. Pads are the most imp0rtant tool, i use to spice up my styles and make them more dynamic... Using midi phrases with extra drum or riffs on top of a style, is incredible..
-The available pa3x is 76 keys
-You can not load samples/new sounds
-the pa3x is 200 euro cheaper, and does not require stretching the budget as much, its just slightly over budget
Its still hard to choose between sound and functionallity, because the pa3x also sounds very very good.
Maybe my biggest problem is that i am looking from my own view, and not from my nefews view... The reason we move up from the G70 is the fact that they just have a hard time with the file management, no way to upload new sounds, hard to select user styles.. seems some of the old ways dont very much apeal to the current tablet generation.
Bachus, don't forget the G70 has an expansion board option..and you have 10 locations in each category to save your User styles..thus selection is just like presets..
