yes the panel is more or less at the same angle as the 6500 panel.

And though no music stand was used there are mouldings for a music stand just like the other boards. Presumably this is angled to be visible with the panel fully upright as on the other boards.

Good point about the buttons, for me the 5000 panel memories were a little too far away, with the 6000 just right for live playing. The panel mems here are all new.

We shall have to see how it is practically. I watched the demo carefully several times and the changes seemed easy, but then with a good player everything seems easy!

Unfortunately the photo does not show the interesting panel lighting effect.
