I just got a Tyros2 and I love it. I also have a SD1,it still has version 3.0 and I love it just as much as when I first got it.Those whom never heard one are really missing the boat.!!St.Louis area has no clue as to what they are.

Dave wait till you upgrade to 4.0 & EXP

If the Ketron Tour makes its way through Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, I'll be there. If it only gets as far north as Chicago, it's an eight hour drive for me and I can make that.

And suddenly it went quiet.......

Well, not sure how the Ketron would work for me anyway. If I remember right, the reports on the harmonizer were less than glowing.

I don't use a harmonizer enough to warrant adding an external one, so I would like for my arranger to have a pretty good one. The one on the PA80 is fair, but certainly not top notch.

Home of Rock 'N Roll, thousands of musicians, and many arranger keyboard players. They're all playing Yammys and never had the chance to hear a Ketron.

Ok,

I'll start plannning the workshops for the KETRON SD1Plus - EXP then. My goal is to get to as many of you as possible with fruitful trips.

There are a lot of people in the North East from what I see. I am in Baltimore and could make...

MD (Baltimore itself). Others have already been to our 'lab' here. Won't mind doing another workshop here.
PA (Philadelphia at Cintioli's music) off of Oxford Avenue.
NJ (where would be a good location - TRENTON???).
MD (Keyboard city) and trust me - we WILL have a keyboard!!

I need to get some dates together and based on demand, your schedules, set up a location. So far, I see PA and NJ as center points for the NE.?

Bluezplayer - I see that PA might be too far for you. Where would you want to meet and how far are you willing to drive? If you do not like what you see, I promise to take care of your gas (and that goes for all who come ~ be honest now and nothing above $30.00 so SUVs be watchfull).

Thanks

AJ

PS: Let's get the ball rolling before you all get too busy with seasonal giggs!!

... just so you know, I am hoping to accomplish the North East within December (PA, NJ, MD). MD also includes Chuck Levins Washington Music Center in Wheaton.

For the West Coast, I will make arrangements with George Kaye around the NAMM show dates so I can spend some time with him and his customers too (so we are looking around January ending).

Scott Yee, where would be a good location in the San Fransico area for such a workshop? What store/hotel could we use?

Glenn. You are about 7hrs. drive from Baltimore. Could you assist in setting up this workshop for me there in Cleveland (locating a hotel who's lobby we could use or a good music store who won't mind the demo for say 2-3hrs? Ofcourse we will provide snacks ..etc). Please get back to me on this.

PS: At Chuck Levins in Wheaton (MD) [301-946-8808] - I'll be able to demonstrate/compare & contrast the following keyboards for you depending on the day & if you can make it there:- (I have their permission for Nov-Dec).

* KORG PA1XPro & PA80
* YAMAHA TYROS (2) & PSR 3000
* GEM GENESYS
* ROLAND G70 & EXR-7S
* KETRON SD1PLUS-EXP & Midijay & XD9

** Contact me for more detailed information. What keyboard you finally purchase and from whom is your decission.

Thanks

Trenton would be fine AJ. I could also make Philly.

AJ

CINTIOLIs at OXFORD Ave. in Phili seems to be 'overall' from personal email messages too.

What would be a good date for Phili:-

Tue.
Sat.
Sun.

These are what's available.

Thanks
