    I haven’t seen any reference or news about MIDI keyboard controllers with cutting edge features (MIDI 2.0, poly AT) except for Native Instruments. Nothing from Novation, Arturia, others?
  2. Anyone done a comparison of Mojo61 with Xk-4? I’m liking the basic Xk4-4 tone, but wonder about comparisons involving chorus or drive, which many regard as great on Mojo61.
  3. Here’s maybe OT question, but one I’ve been struggling with… My use case would be occasional fly gigs. For drive gigs, my CP88 and Mojo61 are perfect for me. I’m in a Chicago tribute band, so I need AP, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, FM EP, strings, Synth Pad/Brass, and rock organ, along with the expected splits and layers. I don’t need pitch bend or modulation. For fly gigs, I need a single piano action board, ideally 88 keys, where the total weight in a TSA case is UNDER 50 lbs. (I’d hold my nose and play organ on it). I’d like it to have most or all of these sounds internally (for backup or instead of computer/IPad sounds). A Gator TSA case is around 29 lbs, and Kawaii 120 is 27 lbs. Anyone know of a piano action keyboard more like 21 lbs? Ideally with these sounds? Failing that, a piano action controller without sounds? it’s gotta be less than 50 lbs in TSA case!
  4. If I"m recording @96K in DAW, will the Pianoteq standard @48K play correctly?
  5. Selling each of three PLG boards separately and an S90ES separately was clearly the best decision for me. There are lots of buyers for PLG boards that are looking for specific boards (analog, FM, modeled brass/strings). I cannot visit the path not taken (selling together), but I"m convinced that I netted far more $ by separating.
  6. Easysounds has just released 'Nostalgia,' which includes classic synth sounds and templates that treat Montage/Modx more like a knob editing synth.
  7. You possibly remember Which sheet music? I find that MAYBE the first page is close but subsequent pages are not, at least so far.
  8. It is possible to purchase short AC cables that have one male plug and 3 or more female ends to attach to your rack modules. Every ounce counts.
  9. I"ve always heard pitchbend on Get Down Tonight. How?
  10. One of my guilty pleasures... Mercedes Boy, Pebbles. Especially the extended mixes. (Covers face in anticipation)
  11. Bob built one of his chops for me in 2001 and installed solid state relays in two Leslies. Unlike Bill Beer"s, Bob"s chops are easily serviced by merely human repair guys. He provided schematics for anything altered and used Trek II devices pretty much. When it came time for my last service in 2019 prior to selling the chop, I noticed that he had lost a step or three, but he was magnanimous in suggesting a service tech closer to me. The Hammond and Leslie universe has lost a tremendous figure and friend.
  12. No. You are not the only one. Quite distorted/harsh.
  13. 'All restaurants are Taco Bell.' 'All keyboards are Behringer.'
  14. I like plugging the output of Mojo61 into the aux input of CP88. Then everything is being output through the CP88. This avoids a keyboard mixer altogether. I only use KB effects or eq, and I love Mojo Leslie enough that no Vent is needed. Someday I might expand with a table top Analog Synth, like Ob6 or Prophet 5/10. But I"m thinking that I will only need 2 of these 3 instruments on any one song, so I would have to problem solve the outputs. Don"t think I would ever go three keyboard stand.
