pa3x - 76 vs 61

Now that I have my heart set on a backup board, I didn't know that the 61 model had no motorized screen (huh?). Does it pop up at all, even manually?

Also, I read somewhere that the keybed is not the same either.

Anyone with information about these (2) items, much appreciated.

Why not get the Pa4x 61 for gigs.....Pa3x for a backup..

Need a mirror image for throwing in a stick and going! None of this map stuff, which takes forever.

There's one on Reverb.com for under 2400 from unique squared. Customer return.Been on there for 11 months I think they may take offer..

The screen on my 61 was fixed could not be raised. Don't know about the key bed

Jim, The fact that the Pa3x 61 does not have a motorized screen was a non-issue for me. In my opinion the keybed is the same as the 76 key version.

I have to be REAL careful on selecting a keyboard as I am 5'3".
So, if the fixed location screen is tilted up too far I have to almost mount the keyboard to see the screen well!

I think my PAXPRO was like that (if I am remembering right, or was it the T2??) So I always need to check that out.

I think the S-970 may be an issue?? but no one here has one in stock to try out....so I don't know (Funny too as most Japanese are on the shorter side).

Yes raising the seat helps some but not enough in some cases.

Anyone on the shorter side here have a S-970 and can they tell me about the screen position/readability??

I am down to 5'6" now and have no problem at all seeing the screen on my s970.
