Does anyone remember seeing a model like this.. I can't remember the exact model number, but it was a 61 key arranger, had both pitchbend and modulation.. LED's for the screen.. Allowed several tracks for recording and did an auto loop after a measure or so. One thing that stood out was what Suzuki called "AIN"- Artificial Intelligent Note"..... This was an early model of a Suzuki arranger in the mid 90's that had this function.. No matter what you did you couldn't play a wrong note. Similiar to what the new lower end Yamaha does now. The keyboard was grey, and I do remember the pitcbend and modulation wheels were almost like a half ball (which too was cut in half...) Anyone remember this model?

Squeak,
The model you are referring to is the SK-900, an attempt by Suzuki in the mid 90's to produce an arranger/synth. Poor and short-lived, there are a few around. If you want specific info or need parts, contact Nick at 1-800-854-1594. The SP series that DJ lead you to are the current portables. The SP-77 was introduced a year ago at NAMM and is still yet to be released. That one has after-touch and a mic input, etc, but for the money, it's pretty lame.

Zuki,
Thanks for the info.. Do you by chance know where I can get any info on this board on the web?????? It seems to be quite rare. The AIN was a fun feature.. A buddy and I used to flip people out with that thing. We'd split the keyboard, turn on AIN and go nuts
