I can't wait to hear you on the PA80. I hope your doing fine with it?

Uncle Dave did a wonderful arrangement of "Just a Gigolo" on the PA-80.
With his talent it would have sounded great on my old PS6100.
Don can also make anything sound good, even country music. He is busy
opening a club. I'm sure when things settle down he will show off his
stuff on the PA-80.
We should have the International Arranger Keyboard Association's annual
convention in his town at his club.
I nominate these officers:
President - Don M "because of his advanced age we better use him while we
got him, besides it is his club"
V. P. - Scott "v.p. automatically becomes president next year"
Treasurer - Donny "He can take the dues money to Atlantic city and
multiply it for us"
Secretary - The girl on Fran's bench
National Security Advisor - Uncle Dave "Uncle Dave is always willing to
advise"
Chief of Staff - Steve "Anyone who owns cool cars like Steve deserves to
be Chief"
Ambassador for foreign affairs - Roel
Secretary for domestic affairs - Bill Clinton
Under secretary of defense - Squeak
Secretary of defense - Linda
Ambassador to South America - Notlos
Ambassador to Europe - John Smies
Any other nominations?

Wow, President! I always wanted to be one.
I've been busy playing the PA80 here at the house. I'm just trying to find
Styles to fit the songs I usually do, and getting the keyboard set up to
where I can quickly find things. The PSR9000 is a lot easier to navigate,
and has a lot better real-time controls, particularly in the fill-ins,
intros, endings.
I love the overall sound of the PA80.
I tried to load some I30 styles, but it doesn't seem to recognize them.
Any advice?
The PA80 doesn't have a dedicated Volume pedal, so I assigned the
Programmable Switch/Pedal to Lead Volume. That leaves me with no
footswitch for the Vocal Harmony Mute. So I found an EC5 multi-switch at a
local store, BUT, they lost the cable. It seems to be a dedicated
connector, so I suppose they will have to order one. Is there a generic
cable that will work?
I have fallen behind on posting songs on my web site. I have several that
I have received and I plan to post them as soon as possible, plus do a
couple on the PA80 when I get it "mastered". (Yeah right!)
I shipped the 9000 to Uncle Dave Monday, so I'll have to use the Korg
Wednesday night on the job.
I haven't been able to find any help with the harmonizer. There seem to be
16 preset setups, but I don't know what they are or how to edit them.
So far the best qualities (to me) are: great sound, good style structure
and LIGHT WEIGHT.

P.S. How about Boo for Seargent At Arms?
Tom for Court Jester?

Yeah, VP sounds good to me too. I can hang out and 'make music' while Don
fulfills all the official obigatory duties, I know I'll learn a LOT from
the Prez.
Don, you say: "I tried to load some I30 styles, but it doesn't seem to
recognize them. Any advice?" Didn't Uncle Dave give you the secret
passcode? I guess he decided to 'hold back' til he decided to see if your
PSR9000 was going to be too heavy for him or not. (heehee)
Uncle Dave: Head Honcho
Dreamer: Chief Italian Liaison
Jupiter5: Technical (oops, I mean Technics) Advisor

Hi Scott,
when you wrote italian liaison did you mean italian connection? (I've
always wanted to be a "Don")
