dnj,

My budget is not that big of a deal, but if I can get away with less money, and still get what I need, I'm a happy camper

And my wife will be happy to....

Does the G1000 have a mic input?

Ok, I'm going to pass on that 9000 pro thing. It's too old, and I'm guessing you can get better sounds, a lot more styles, and almost all the same functions in the newer models.

My budget is about $3500, but I need to get a board, a couple of Behringer B212A's, a Shure WH20 or similar headset mic, for that price.

Here the Tyros 2, G-70 and PA2X retails for about $4500,-

I can get a used PA1X pro, a used g-70, a used PA800 and a new S900 for $2500.

So what should I do?

Besides fly to the us and buy one of each and sell two when I get home...

Doc-Z

As always Gary you are a great help.
My board now sounds much better using you EQ suggestions.
You said to store them in Store 1.
I saved them but can't see where the keyboard has saved them.

Will the EQ'S be loaded each time I switch on the keyboard?

At present I have to reload them each time I use the PSR 3000.

On the Ketron products, the PIANIST MODE (Piano mode) works similar to a real piano when you use the sustain pedal.
* When you press the sustain pedal, the current chord is LOCKED allowing you to play whatever.
* When you release the pedal, the chord being played currently is taken into account ... just as a real pianist does when playing the paino.

In this case, your piano playing style doesn't change.

AJ could I perhaps send you a midi file of me playing piano, and you could run it through a ketron product in piano mode using a autocomp? And send me back the result? I'm very interested in checking out either the SD1+, or an SD3 with a controller.

Doc-Z,

I don't play many jazz chordings, but I have had a similar problem to yours, since I like to play riffs with left hand to augment the right hand parts and the accompaniment. I own and like Roland G-70.

I think the one approach you may try is to set keyboard into a split mode, and select the same tone (e.g. piano) for both upper and lower part. Also set chord recognition to Pianist. I think this may work better for you - the Pianist mode changes chords when you press 3 notes (or more) simultaneously. When it scans over the entire keyboard, it is very likely to detect 3 notes at once, and switch chord when you don't want it to. Scanning the lower part of the keyboard only, it will more likely hold the chords until you play another chord with your left hand.

I don't know that this will work for your style of playing, but it is worth a try.

Good luck,
Alex

See if Russ is selling his G70?

The Roland G1000 and most earlier Roland arrangers had a chord recognition mode that was assignable to a pedal..When depressed it recognized the chord ..when not depressed it ignored chord changes..

Similar to what AJ is referring to....

Naturally being such a great feature...Roland decided to drop it from the G70....
