No preset / bank buttons .just +/- . does not seem to be a problem for a lot of users .

Donny Hathaway ?

Very good player . I am really impressed by the nord and yamaha , will go and check those out..( the yamaha seems to have improved significantly with updates ,I did not follow for quite a while . I still have my electro 1 and while percussion is a bit artificial and C/V a bit too warbly it is still somehow good .

i also bought Waterfall after briefly demoing it . I will have to test the B3-X again , I used it on a production and liked that one too after some tweaking .I probably should compare them again. Currently I am using a GSI /crumar hardware clone and Hx3/vent but I will soon try the waterfall live . Never used a laptop live before....

Yes it is a a matter of taste . I rememnber I tried the original Numa and thought it was great except something , the rotary sim . I am now playing the vb3 II but will probably be replacing the rotary with a ventilator next season . Probably means I have only 2 outputs and need to organize output setttings

Somebody mentioned the ventilator makes them all sound the same . well maybe . Probably . yep , they do.They sound good with one and more or less ok without one in my humble opinion . nobody got "fast " right , yet except NEO

great song , great band

I've posted about this a few times. For piano technique, they don't really compare, the 88 feels much more piano-like. The 73, having the lighter action, is arguably better for rhodes, wurly, and clav. I think it's more appropriate to compare the CP73 to keyboards that similarly sacrifice action for portability, and in that category it's the best action I've found. I also far prefer it over Korg's RH3. However, I haven't played the newest Casio weighted action, which some people rave about, so can't compare it to that. How do you like your cp73 compared to your seven ? I know some of the sevens sounds from my gemini and I know the older yamaha cp5 . Thank you

Having read this http://ethanwiner.com/speaker_isolation.htm I am not really sure about speaker decouplers/ isolation . I made my own of rubber intended to be put under washing machines and softer foam . Maybe I get some professional and do my own test . After I worked on room acoustics. I went to a store last year to listen to the JBL LSR . The speakers I preferred were much more expensive but I also preferred the Fluid Audio FX8 which were not much more expensive at that time .I bought the fluid audio fx8

I bet it is a bad fatar bubble contact. I opened my nord several times ( because I lost respect for it after they charged me for an entirely new keybed ;-) )

yes, matter of taste , mine is similar to yours obviously

I can also relate to that , having tried both . Out of the box both need tweaking for my taste . Strong points of the hx for me are the top register and the attack , the mojo scores for my taste with a better C/V and -with average mono monitoring- better leslie simulation .On recordings i picked the mojo on 7 out of 10 tracks , the 3 I preferred the hx3 on were hard rock.I cannot play jazz organ(yet). just my 2 ct
