Jim buddy we've been friends quite a few years make no mistake you ARE NOT A FOOL!! I've had my share of buying stuff then realzing it wasn't for me, if you're a fool, then you're looking at a bigger one here! Just enjoy that Pa3x and your back up Pa3x when you get it.

If I think back I actually did Tony I bought A Ketron XD9
next day played a NH gig.....wasn't for me ..got back in my car called Uncle Dave and traded it for something he had on the way home I forget what??.....had it less then 24 hrs lol..


That said I love my Roland EA7....

Jim can you please qualify your comments regarding auto fill? I still have a PA800 and I agree that the timing and volume of the fills is awkward. But I tried a PA900 in a music store a while back and thought that it was much improved. Really thought they had this issue licked. Thanks!

Hi Ted,

I'd have to play it in length to determine which styles are more suspect to the glitch. I just noticed on several songs and had to already work around some changes - but...it might just be me.
Without dedicated fill buttons, you're at the mercy of this
engaged "fill" button. It annoyed me enough that I disabled it only to find there was no way to "fill" - kinda wierd, IMO.

The 3X is no angel either, but having so long and being careful, I really never have a problem filling and I would miss the 4 fills - awesome feature. Now that I'm thinking, I didn't try the toggle feature on the 1000, but I'm surea it has it? I use that all the time.

I'm extremely critical of everything vs my 3X - so my assessment is probably not fair.

good luck to you
