After many years committed to the Yamaha sXXX line, I’m switching to the Korg PA 1000. I started out over twenty years ago with a Korg iX300. Since then I’ve tried a few other Korgs, but they always seemed to come up short to my expectations. Seems I could always get a Yammy with more bells & whistles for the same bucks. Finally, the new PA 700/1000 series caught my eye and ear, sounds and styles are so realistic. I’m liking the Korg styles more and more. Finally, a keyboard that could rival the Roland G70 for my heart. This may well be my last arranger purchase, so I opted for the 1000 for the extras, especially the voice harmony. Thanks to Frankieve for a great price and service.
I’ll post something after I have a chance to run thru all the new features.

Maybe you should of said "Switching Brands or Keyboards " At first I thought it was a Bruce Jenner post. LOL
What did you use for Arranger functions with the VR09 ? Nice small setup.
Good luck with your new board, enjoy.

as a back up years ago I recorded ALL my songs live as backing tracks omitting my playing parts using my S950/Pa4x.. so in case I ever had to I just play & sing along with any KB like the VR09 etc...works out very well.

Bill, I use a USB stick filled with SMFs when I play. I should have used it today instead of my Privia. I wasn't used to the length and didn't secure it properly to my cart. It fell on the sidewalk and screwed up a batch of lower keys. The Privia has styles, but the damaged keys prevented me from using them. The VR-09 would have been much cozier.
