Re: Bandwidth Problems - Absolute Tosh!

I'm curious now. Hmmmmm, I was taught to be cautious Wally, and no matter how you look at it - it just doesn't ring true.

Re: Peugeot Design New Pleyel Piano

Re: PA600 unboxed at last!

Hi Mike, Reading your post leaves me thinking you are disappointed with the PA600 in lots of respects,a lot of people seem to take badly with the Korg first off,it is quite different,say to Yamaha,which is the most simplest of keyboards to manage,once you get the hang of the PA600 you will find it ...

Re: Keyboard Voices

Hiya Colin, Hi Mike - Thanks for all the 'gen' on sound modules. They are obviously wonderful devices. But, my music isn't taken seriously enough to warrant purchases in the price range you mentioned. However, I did have a look in e-bay, and came across a 'Roland JV-1080'. For a measly £60 odd. But,...

Re: Keyboard Voices

Hiya Collin, I don't know exactly how old the KN7000 is but it's got to be close to 14 years old if not more, I still like a lot of the voicing on the 7000 and in many respects the sounds hold their own against the more up to-date instruments.
