Which one was that? I've been looking at the Korg Z1 once, but apart from
that the keyboard is identical to my EX5's (I believe Korg get their
keyboards from Yamaha) I found it pretty expensive for what it does,
especially because I already have an AN1x that does much of the same thing.
Yamaha's acoustic modelling also sounds better to my ears.

So the search is still on to complement my AN1x and EX5. My interest now
focuses on something virtual analogue (Virus, Supernova) and perhaps one of
those yummy new samplers from Akai (Z4, Z8). Unfortunately, I won't have the
money for them for the next 350 years.
