Chuck,
I have had my PA1XPRO for a while now (4/2004) and I LOVE it!
It is very 'PRO' and has lots of customization capabilities.

OK, Weighted vs Hammer action. The PA1XPRO IS weighted (look under the keys) and has a great high quality keybed. Hammer action is "PIANO' type keyboard and is far more than just weighted. It's a whole different mechanical setup.

I use my board with a couple of external modules and it is great for that!
Keep in touch!
Lee
