  1. duh I fixed that embarrassing mistake. I bet, these are strange times. Thanks all the best to you as well!
  2. Very nice Mike! I enjoyed this. Also my wife and I saw your band last year in Lucknow ON - really great. Loved your playing. And also I have followed Terence over the years. I remember him as a teenager subbing in at a local gig in the 80's and I loaned him one of my keyboards. He was super nice and very talented! Cheers.
  3. I'm not sure I agree. One example I bought my Triton Studio 88 new in 2002 for $5,299 + tax cad. Still have it. Yamaha Montage 88 last year for the same price. Also my Kronos 2 88 similar price. 18 yrs later same price..
  4. I've gotten some pretty good hammond sounds on the Montage/Modx8 with some modified ksounds samples. As for Jazz on the modx8, I would think the action would not be suitable. I found it terrible for anything other than playing basic chords on the white keys. Actually bad for that too. ymmv.
  5. Nice design. I passed on the CP88 because of the organs, So I would like a combination of the 2 - YC88! A true Nord replacement.
  6. Battery for 2CX Runs for hours on this battery which is about the size and weight of a 3.5" Hard Drive. If you get a plug adapter and go into normal power in rather than USB, speakers work normally. That's pretty cool.
  7. I think it's a very nice instrument for the price. If it only ran on batteries.... :-(
  8. Good point. Although I bought, and then sold because of they keys. I shared my thoughts on the keys just to be helpful to prospective buyers.
  9. Thanks. Yeah I think I"ll get my $$ back for now and see if I"ll want one in 2020. Despite knowing it is incomplete sound/feature-wise, I also found it very buggy/crashy when it was working. Judging by some posts on other boards, seems like my issue is not isolated. My first thought is 'Shame on you Roland", although really it"s my own fault. The warning signs were there. Nice keyboard/concept, but too early to the market IMO.
  10. Just thought I'd give an update. Received bnib Fantom 8 about 9 days ago. Wouldn't always boot up properly. It is now bricked, won't boot up, white 'Roland' screen of death. Has been buggy since the start even after 1.1 upgrade. I have to send it back today. :-( I wouldn't recommend buying one at this point.
  11. Although I've been trashing the new Fantom, I have ordered a Fantom 8 which I'll have in the next week or so. I'll report back. As for the MODX, I felt the action is bad.
  12. Good point. I'm just talking soundwise. As a Montage/Kronos owner I was disappointed.
  13. makes sense, since the sound banks include the XV-5080 sound set. tough crowd. Ya think the XV owners would like to play their legacy 70's/80's patches on the new Fantom ? For sure, that's a good thing. Although if that's all it's got, why upgrade?
  14. Yeah that's it, seemed like a flashback those patches. Not a bad thing just besides the vpiano it felt like that's all it had going. Nothing new and pricey. !
