Hi Donny,
I thought your reason for dumping the PA800 was because lack of styles??

Aren't you just jumping from the frying pan into the fire by choosing a Ketron again.
Maybe it's just me, but I never really found much in the way of additional styles for my sd1.

Korg on the other hand I now have a heap of.
Admittedly most are from Pa1x & earlier korgs, but most work quite well with minor tweaking . It's even cropped up we may finally get styles from a 3rd party commercial source , provided there's enough interest from users.
If you really need a change, why not wait for the Audya, even though the 3rd party style problem may still be relavent..

Donny,

Be patient my friend. Wait for the next generation. What's the problem with the 900?

I sure am comfortable with the 800. This has been a dream machine (a keeper FINALLY).

RIKKI - want to sell me your style collection - sincerely

Im sorry everyone ...I had a dream last night about playing a SD5......when I woke up this morning I was high on the idea of getting one but as I listened to demos, talked with SZer's & looked in the mirror I realized the dream might turn into a nightmare for me Then I went out to a big gig today and snapped back into reality Playing my S900 & inside I know I have to WAIT for the releases of the next wave of arrangers to forfill my needs on stage.....thanx for all your help.

Hi Zuki,
they're only a collection of styles I downloaded from Korg & Createasong forums.
All I've done to date is discard the really bad ones, and put them into banks of, jazz, ballads, bigband etc. & save them to USB stick instead of having them clog up the keyboard.
Now if I need to look for a style for a song , I can just load in a suitable bank into the User 1, 2 or 3 section of the keyboard. Audition them with the song. If I find a suitable one, I can tweak it , & save it to a Favourites slot permanently.

Currently the only ones I've tweaked are some of my own conversions & some simple piano styles I put together.

I can't sell them, as they're not mine to sell. I'm more than happy to give you a copy of the collection, though.
