    Hello! Since we can use mobile chargers to be able to power this up, does the changer's voltage interfere? Let's say I have a 120W charger, will I blow up the keyboard or the voltage has nothing to do with this situation? Thanks! I've seen people saying that batteries damage the keyboard so I'm thinking of using the cable.

      ​​​@@KeenOnKeys thanks for the reply! Would I be able to use the loop feature to 'create' an accompaniment to play along with the a50? Am I right to say that a50 is more advanced whereby you'll need to 'create' the accompaniment and pre record the chords first instead of playing along with a ready-made accompaniment?

    Does the synth with the wooden-finish produce a better sound than the same plastic model? I think “yes”. Try placing a wooden plank underneath any synth, and see the difference. Drum-sounds, Pipe-Organ and Brass Section will all start to sound brighter!! (Same settings, same volumes, same ADSR ...)

I found your PSS-480 songs on SoundCloud several years ago, was amazed, bought the album, got the downloads. So awesome to look for you on RUclips and get to see all this!
