Mostly because even though I'm not much of a pianist or Rhodes-type player, it's depth, presence, and expressiveness tends to minimize those weaknesses. Right after opening the box 4 or 5 yrs ago, and without yet knowing the instrument, I just started to noodle to see if I could deal with the somewhat 'stiff' keyboard action. I found a registration I liked and played (or misplayed) this little tune (Christo Redentor). It sounded ok, so I added a vocal patch from my Roland G8 to add a little more drama. I still like it even though I do it completely different today. The second tune (NY State of Mind) would probably make Billy Joel throw up, but I just wanted to see how it would sound as a solo instrument with a 'lite' backing. Like I said, ignore my playing but tell me how you think it stacks up against some of it's competitors. Christo Redentor 00.mp3 NYSOM-cgiles.mp3

I have a C1 midi'ed to my Legend EXP. Half-moon, pedals, and exp. pedal, of course. It's like the C1 and Legend EXP were made for each other. Everything works perfectly. Of course I still have my KeyB Mark 111 which, in my opinion, still sounds better.

Here is a post of mine from 2013. Might help. I'm still using it and it's steady as a rock. It worked so well, I never tried to improve it . Post #2476468. https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2476468/re-my-new-favorite-keyboard-stand#Post2476468 chas

There is a new software manager in the download (update) section of 'SUPPORT' on the website. This is what is used to load in the new sounds.

This pretty much mirrors my feelings about the update which I also installed. One new thing that I like though is when you select a category, the sounds in that category don't immediately go away, IOW, you can audition any or all the sounds in that category before selecting one. BIG improvement. The sounds themselves though, except for piano and (tweaked) organ, are barely record-worthy IMO. Still struggling trying to play expressively with that keybed, especially softly.

I think I'm going to wait until you find out what the 'click' was.

Thanks all. No, I haven't put it up on ebay yet because I can't find the darn controller/switch. I know it's packed up in a box somewhere in my storeroom but just the thought of unpacking all those boxes (the result of a move three years ago ) has brought out one of my worst characteristics, laziness. I peck away at it a little each day but keep getting distracted by the discovery of all sorts of interesting things from yesteryear .

And I'm hoping a potential buyer will feel the same as you. Given it's great design and portability, I figure if the sound were there it would have been a runaway best-seller. JMO.

At the time, the description sounded like a dream come true, so I bought it without ever even listening to it. Sounded way less like a leslie than the onboard sim played through good powered monitors (even after upgrading the woofer). Also, didn't like the footpedal controller. I immediately got a 3300 (for gigging) and used the powered monitors at home. Never turned it on again. Too bad too, as I still love the concept. Thanks to Delaware Dave for that suggested starting bid; that's sort of what I was looking for.

Cleaning out some jun..., uh excess gear. I bought this about 5 years ago, didn't like it, upgraded the woofer as per recommendations, better but still didn't like it. Tweaked the heck out of it, still didn't like it. Came with the remote and a very nice custom padded cover. Since I've owned it I have put, at most, 5-6 hrs. on it. Haven't turned it on in several years but it's stored in a heated/air conditioned environment so I assume it's still in the like-new condition I bought it. My question is, is it worth anything or should I just give it away (if I were in the market for anything, I'd try to use it for a trade-in). What do you think it might be worth? It really is in like-new condition cosmetically and also mechanically/electronically (AFAIK). Would probably be costly to ship.

I never tried to make any money in the music business......and I succeeded mightily.

Darren, thanks for the information. The more you know........ Still, in the end subjectivity is the keyword and ultimately the ears will be the final arbitrar. I admit I have only listened to the module on my 8" studio monitors but I'll drag out my 3300 and see if they tell me something different. For the record, I've never been unhappy with my MkIII (just the opposite). It just wouldn't fit in my studio and I wanted the same (or better) sound in my studio as in my rehearsal room (where the MkIII resides). The Ledgend Exp sounded like a cheap solution. BTW, I still haven't figured out how to get that (slightly) percussive bass out of the module. Any suggestions appreciated.

So, is that official? It's what I assumed when I bought the module BUT, 3K sounds like a lot just to add a keybed with some dedicated controls (Legend). Plus, after more critical listening, that module just does not sound as authentic or 'ballsy' as my KeyB Duo Mk111. Good, but not AS good. JMO, though (and at least one other person here who owned both).

Not bulky at all. It's roughly the size of a (12x12)floor tile. You will need to find a way to mount it that's comfortable to control if you plan to control it from the module itself. The memory system it uses makes live use easy but not necessarily fast. Depending on your playing style, the presets can also be useful (they change the drawbars only). Hope this helps.

Hmmm, just got a private mail from a member who also affirmed my observations. He returned two Legends (consoles, I assume) after deciding that his KeyB Duo Mk11 sounded better. I'm going to take Adan's advice and check out the Facebook Legend page. Oh, he mentioned that the sim on his KeyB was better as well. I agree. In fact, I'd say MUCH better. Would love to hear DazzJazz's experience/opinion.
