    I use this board for home enjoyment and worship music. At church it replaces a well-used Korg Triton that our worship team had been using for years. The Korg is, of course, a classic, but it's piano sounds are just a bit out-of-date. Team members and sound guys are all impressed with the acoustic pianos on this board. I like the keyboard action vs. the very light action on my soon-to-depart Nord Piano 2. And I feel that a wide dynamic range is far easier to achieve with this updated keybed. The huge increase in memory adds significant capability compared to the NP 2. Also the layering and split possibilities provide many new sound options all of which fall quickly to hand. Last, one failing with the NP 2 was what would happen on stage when you had to switch to the next keyboard setup ... Silence. This board conveniently holds the last chord or note (with the sustain pedal down) as you make your move to the next program. Very nice feature.
