Yeah...I agree...sometimes weighted keys are a pain when trying to do fast riffs using patches other than Piano. Especially when you are a keyboard hack like myself. Good ideas from all the responders ! I for one have been converted "for now" to the Casio line up. Had other brands and liked them also, but the support from Casio beats the competitors hands down. I think this is due to Mike Martins dedication to Casio. Thanks.
