Well, John I must say that your observations are right on, except this time I was not scared away by the oddball Korg OS. Pads - I don't use them. OTS - don't use that much either. So, getting into the 1000's Songbook, Styles, and Keyboard Sets are the biggie s for me. I've already started making my own Songbook for the SMF and songs with styles that I use. I'm sure I won't scratch the surface of the 1000's features, but what I can do is more than I did on any Yamaha. I look forward to keeping this board for a good while.
