It's just good to know we're all in the same fraternity.

Single ones.........don't rub it in

Keyboard?
What new keyboard?
You mean THIS old thing?
I just polished it up.

If you marry the right women in the fist place you'll never have such problems...I speak from experience of doing just that.

Come on, Graham. You aren't taking this serious now, are you? Chas is just having fun.

Chas, you can always hide your gear at my place.

With a world wide 60%+ divorce rate I guess its not that easy

Hi,
well, had to make a pretty large sacrifice to get my latest keyboard.
Hubby wanted to trade my 5 year old Audi sedan for a new convertible. (I think we must be going thru mid life crisis, convertibles at our age haa haa)

Guess who won.
I pick my PA800 up on Saturday, we pick the convertible following week.

I'm convinced he wanted a smaller car so that couldn't carry keyboards anymore.

Wonder how a seat belt, open roof & cardboard box standing on the seat ,flapping in the wind would work??
haa haa

Somehow, I think I ended up with a win , win. Compramise is great.

best wishes

Congrats, Rikki. A few of us have been saying all along what a great keyboard the Korg is. I guess the word had to come down through "official" channels first. Glad you feel comfortable with the OS. That was always the area I considered the weakest and least intuitive (at least compared to Yamaha). But you get used to OS's and in the end (with an arranger) it's all about the styles; and for me, and the type of music that I do, I prefer the Korg styles.

Glad the marriage survived the new aquisition. I guess the best possible scenario would be having two gear-lusting, keyboardists, married to each other, but then, they'd probably be living in a tent and riding a bicycle. Enjoy the convertible before the weather gets too cold (or are you heading into warm weather now?).

rikki congrats you made a wise choice...the PA800 is a wonderful feature packed arranger KB.

Hi Chas,
I used to be vary familiar with the korg operating system. I used to do one on one tutorials on korg i2's/i3's & korg O1W workstations for the local music store.
The PA800 appears to have a lot more functions than my old i2 ever had.

I've been studying a manual I downloaded, & some of the features sound amazing. Luv all the onboard editing functions of the styles & pads. Something my Ketron lacks.

I had been promised a new keyboard, mainly because hubby's just gone halves with our son , in doing up a little fishing boat. Turned round and asked what I'd like. I would have been happy selling my psr1500 & getting the new psrs700 or hopefully s900.

Instead, we took my audi in for a service because it had a slight rattle. His tongue was hanging out when he spotted a convertible . (They're not all that common in Australia. You see a few, but not many.) Jokingly said we can't take the money with us when we go, great cue for a more expensive keyboard ( PA800)also . Following day, I'm getting my keyboard & we've got a great new car.

We're heading for summer. Have to get a big hat, sunglasses & scarf, so people won't say, look at those 2 silly old
bug---rs driving round in a convertible.
I've always thought of them as a younger persons car, but what the heck, you only live once. haa haa

best wishes
Rikki
