I'm new here. I love the sound of the X1 (saxophones, brass, etc...), it's important for me the big band sound and all wind instruments, but the keyboard are 61 keys. I would like to have 76 keys, I like to play... I think the Roland E-60 will be a good keyboard for me, but we only have 3 demos ok?
Can you suggest the best arranger keyboard for me?
I'm not married with any company. I think the wind instruments are not good in Korg. What do you think?

Excuse my english, I'm spanish.

I suggest:
Get either the SD1 Plus or wait a little more for the upcoming SD5.....once you are Ketronized, I find very hard to switch to a Roland products, mainly for their arranger product trend in the last 8 years, have little to be desire, in fact, some die-hard Roland arranger owners, still hold to their aging G-1000-800 etc......anyway, if you are used to the features of a Ketron....stay with Ketron.

I have an important question for all ketron users:
Do you like the keyboard of ketron products? I refer to the keys!, the sensitive, the touch quality... do you understand?
I'm very happy when play the keyboard of korg triton, but not ketron x1.
What do you think?

It's better on sd1 or are the same than x1?
many thanks

I have heard so much good about the Roland G800 and G1000 it makes me want to try one. What is the main difference between the G800 and G1000? What about the RA800 module, is that comparable to the 800 or 1000? Was there any other modules that were of the 800/1000 sound? What are the pro's and con's of each if there are any.

BEst

Touch is a very conseptual matter, for some perhaps brand "X" is good, but "Y" is not.....is your personal preference
When I had the SD1s it was good to me.
Now the key feel of my T2 I like it even more, perhaps because of the S.A. voices.
