Frankly speaking, you get a lot of bang for your buck.
The effort that went into developing and producing this instrument was no small feat.

Yeah, Steve and VT. One will do just fine. laugh

I saw on Musicians Friend, you can make $130 payments... Still bad timing money wise. I'll have to wait a while before I jump onto this unit. I definitely want one.

Awesome unit but expensive. They did a great job on the looks too, much better looking than the Tyros 5. One guy on the Keyboard Corner decided to get the Korg Pa4X and a Hammond SK2 plus some speakers for the same money. That Korg is no joke either, it's one heckuva unit.

Thanks, Bob. Will check out the Korg. I still have the PA50, but it's quite dated.

Thanks Bob. I tend to gravitate towards Korgs myself as I like their synth sounds more.

Just went through the almost 30 minute presentation and color me impressed.

That's a nice workstation indeed. $106/month (36 months). Hmmm...

And yes, Steve. I am also somewhat partial to Korg. smile

Just FYI If you like the Korg (or the Yamaha or ..) consider KRAFT music (I don't work for them or get free booze from them or..)

Unless you can get a super price elsewhere, Kraft always offers bundles of useful stuff (stand, expression pedals, cables, cover, etc.) usually at same MSRP as just the board!

FWIW - 've never had issues with Kraft - they deliver exactly what they promise.

PS it's funny hearing about "streaming samples with no loops" from the internal HDD and similar a decade later, I've had those features for years on my Alesis Fusion 8HD as well as 8 track external (to internal) audio real-time recording,and... for that long. Granted the Fusion is not an arranger, but neither was the Oasis, it is just a workstation. The Fusion was the most panned by the press, and maligned board by early users becasue of the "dated" factory patches. I have a couple hundred BANKs of well over hundreds of non-factory patches (commercial and user made) only limit is HDD space. Unlike 99% of other synths banks can have 0 to thousands of patches and you can have thousands of banks (neither patches or banks are limited to 64, or 128, or 256, or even 512)!

While no one likes to say it it was the blue-collar, working mans, Korg Oasis at ~ 25% of the original Oasis MSRP. Glad I got one, discounted for almost half of the Alesis MSRP, before they went out of production by Alesis within ~2 years of coming out.

Thanks for the tip, Larry. Yeah, Musicians Friend is the same way, actually. I've been buying from them for years. And right, Kraft has a great reputation as well.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
