Daniel,

I'm owned a lot of synths:  Korg DW-8000, Korg EX-8000, Roland Juno 
106, Roland RS-09, Roland JP-8000, Roland JP-8080, Access Virus 
Indigo, ARP Solus (still have that one).  Trust me, the A6 is the 
ticket.  I love it.

I play in a band and there's a running joke about how I get a new 
keyboard every year.  Well, when I showed up to record with the A6, 
for the first time, the other guys (including my critical brothers) 
were totally blown away.

The A6 sounds great if you spend sometime with it.  Trust me.

-Dex
