Knobs, sliders, bigger screen, Yes to them.
I've had dual players in my Korgs for 10 years or so and don't recall ever using more than one at a time, and actually very seldom at all.
If I were to choose between the 900 and the Genos, it would be a no-brainer for me.
Again, we each have different ways we use arrangers. I would seldom use the Ensemble, as great as it sounds. I don't care if there is more than a couple of good B3 organs. The 76 length means I have to change stands, change bags and arrange things differently when I move it.
I've never run out of memory on any of my arrangers, even Yamahas.
The speakers are not that important either way, but I'd just as soon have them as not.
Now, I totally understand why most people would prefer the Genos, just not me. And it costs quite a bit. smile
My Korg PA4X is ALMOST the perfect arranger for me, but I suppose we'll never have a perfect anything will we?


This is a fantastic reply and I couldn't have said it better.

If I wanted a Genos I would have one by now, but some of what it offers over the SX900 would be of no use to me much and could even be a determent rather than an advantage (size etc..). This is why the SX900 is a perfect balance because it has a lot of Genos, all the styles that sound exactly the same plus most of the sounds, a lot of the features all in a perfectly sized package at half the price. Remember, bigger isn't always better!
