Thanks Steve, Rick & Ronald Having a ball with this MZ and it's only 2 days old!! Can't believe how brilliantly it MIDI's up with my PA4X - using the PA4X to give me 76 keys to play the MZ too. And yes, whilst my PA4X is also an arranger (which I love!!), I refuse to "compare" them as the MZ is a very different and brilliant keyboard - doing many things the Korg doesn't For me, these two arrangers are a perfect match in that there is very little overlap. Got to get into the Pads and some recording on it now but maybe some sleep first...... This forum is superb - the help and info is excellent - hope I can return some help sometime soon too. Cheers Pete

Hey Rick Yes, G.A.S. got the better of me - all good down here thanks. I was a bit slow getting into this keyboard mainly because all I had was some very "mixed" youtube demos to go by and some of those can be totally misleading plus not able to physically try one. Your contributions here (and PMs earlier) have been instrumental (pardon the pun) in my decision and my dealer very kindly let me borrow one!! (Rare in Oz - usually they want the $$$, then they order it in etc...) but it is a good dealership.... Have a lot planned for this keyboard now.... very happy Cheers Pete

Hi all I'm new here and just wanted to say a generic "thanks" for all the great information here. I have had the MZ-X500 on loan for a very short time and absolutely love it - not taking it back!!! - what a magnificent keyboard and value for money . I've obviously been studying the manuals and watching the variety of YouTube videos but must say that this forum has been the clincher. I am a Kronos and PA4X owner and now this great MZ-X500 Very excited to get into some more music and new ideas (love hex layer feature) Anyhow just wanted to say "Hi", "Thanks" and "Happy New Year" to all Cheers Pete
