Switching Teams

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.

Looking forward to reading about your experiences, Cassp.

Cass enjoy the PA1000!

Good luck to you Cass...
.. And yes Frank is the Best!

Have you sold the psr950?

Congrats Cass

Yes I did.

But I have a Roland VR-09 someone might be interested in.

Is it the original VR-09 or the updated model?

Enjoy the 1000... looks like a winner!!

Original and the B update.

I loved my Roland VR09 when I had it great Kb with just the right bread & butter features for performing.

Did you get that 950 from me? I know I sold it to somebody..

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.

The VR-09 is the first model, but is updated with the new OS that makes it equal to the VR-09B.

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.

No, not that one. I'm sure I got it new from somewhere.
