I'd have to say the G 1000. It's still my go to board for recording. I must admit though, I really like my Tyros out on the road. It does everything I need it to do and then some, and it's easy to haul around. I'm still like a kid in a candy store with any decent arranger.

Ciao,

Joe

There have been a few that were far ahead of their time. These include Technics KN2000 and Yamaha PSR8000.
Now, unless or until the other companies catch up with the Ketron "live" sound, I will play them.
Before some of us go crazy, I KNOW the sound is very subjective. I also know I'm right.

Can't get any more "live" than the PA800 Don - you must've had a lemon, that's all I can say - same on my end

The Wersi Abacus is the best arranger I've heard or used so far but I'd still love to see many more features implemented. The great part of the OAS system is the ability to continually add features and sounds without having to buy a new keyboard every few years. I've watched the Wersi grow in leaps and bounds and it's miles ahead of anything I've owned from Yamaha, Korg, Roland, and Technics. Even if the "Big Three" come out with an open system arranger Wersi is years ahead of them in R&D. It's hard to catch up when your miles behind in the race.

It's always just a matter of time before the answers to a simple question turn into a "mine is better that yours" dialogue.

Some people are so predictable.

PS...I know, I know...I'm sometimes guilty as well.

Still curious why anyone would move off a 'favorite' to something else...

By definition, if you are not playing your favorite now, you gave it up for something you like LESS. Why would anyone want to do this?
