GEM keyboards - 12/09/00 07:04 AM

First hello, I am new here with posting, but i read your forum for a long time. I am young musician from Serbia.
Nobody has written something about GEM keyboards. My dealers tell me that i should not waste my money on roland VA 7 or KORG PA 80 (but i'm shure i'll buy one of them).
Does anybody have expirience with GEM?
Thanx, Uros.

Hello Uros,
I am responding from Baltimore, Maryland USA.
Serbia is a long way from here. To answer your question about GEM. My personal opinion is that the GEM styles are excellent. However,the overall sound engine of GEM products is lacking behind KORG, ROLAND,YAMAHA,TECHNICS and the KETRON/SOLTON X1. I think a YAMAHA PSR740 has alot to offer for under $1000.00. Great sound and easy to use. The VA7,PA80 are going to cost closer to teh $2000 to $2500.00 price range. I personally would recommend The X1 or new SD1 from Ketron.
Ketron is distributed as Solton in the USA.
