I have a Voce MIDI Drawbar unit that I'd part with. It's MIDI DIN only, no USB. I don't have a MODX, but according to the manual you can route the MIDI IN DIN to the MIDI USB (MIDI Thru), so theoretically should work. PM me if interested.

HX3.5. Less than a month old. Loving it.

@LGuapo Correction: If you are using the basic midi transmit configuration, note on is sent at the high trigger point. If you instead turn that off and use the external zone configuration, you can set each zone for fixed velocity or touch sensitive, but either way, the normal trigger point is used. If you don't use the internal sounds, and are just controlling an external organ module/VSTi/app, there's no need to use zones. You can even plug another keyboard into the XK-1c's MIDI In for a lower manual, and its note on/off data gets send out the MIDI Out. But if you want to control non-organ sound sources, then you'd likely want to use the external zone configuration. Hope that helps. You can PM me if there's anything else you'd like to verify.

Yes, it definitely does. The trigger point is determined by the "Sounding Point" setting. It is the same for internal and all external zones.

It is also on page 125 in Drawbar Data List 2. Though they never explain when list 1 vs. 2 applies! It responds to either, but only sends as I described.

Not true (the "odd" part). I use an XK-1c as a controller for both an HX3.5 module and B-3X. Each drawbar is on a unique CC, and sends values 0-127 (0,16,32,48,64,80,96,112,127). Upper drawbar CC #'s are 12-20. The XK-1c also responds to received non-standard CC's for drawbars, for example upper is CC 80 with values 0-8 for 16', 9-17 for 5 1/3', 18-26 for 8', etc. But those are not sent (verified with MIDIView), so the mapping is very straightforward. BTW, the high trigger point is a nice advantage.

Looks like we may have to wait until summer NAMM? Casio NAMM news

Ah, sorry, missed that!

As a kid when the Rascals' Groovin' was a hit, thought the line was "life would be esctasy, you and me and Leslie". (you and me endlessly)

Other than size and weight, yes, by far. It also cost almost twice as much!

I've had a DZR10 for a few weeks now. Love it; will probably be picking up another soon. I also own a couple of QSC K10's and K8.2's. No contest when being pushed, and more natural sounding (for lack of a better word) at lower volumes. I don't have any experience with the EV, but based solely on specs, the Yamaha has the edge (frequency range, SPL, weight, etc.).

Yamaha DZR10 powered speaker. Extremely happy so far, judged against my QSC K10's and K8.2's. Slightly bigger and heavier than a K10, but sounds great even at very loud levels where the QSC's start to choke.

I have the Gator GKB-88 SLIM Gig Bag, and it fits like a glove. Decent protection, too. There are heavier duty Gator cases with similar dimensions as well. Haven't found that to be true with the Gator GKB-88 SLIM. Stands on its back okay, actually better than the other boards I lug in "gig bags" (MOXF8, NE5D73, PX-5S, XK-1c), which always seem to topple over.

The Gator GKB-88 SLIM gig bag or GK-88 SLIM case should fit it perfectly. At least that's what I'm hoping. Have the case, waiting for the SP6. SP6: 52.5" x 15" x 5.75" GKB-88 SLIM: 53" x 15" x 6"
