The Fantom O series would be the best option. I have had an XP-50, XP-30 and the 2019 Fantom, as far as Roland. Many companies are doing external PSU on entry level boards now and it’s just the way it is. I would have gladly not paid the money to have my XP-50 internal PSU replaced. The XP50/30 had attached power cables, which is even more annoying than having an external PSU, so I don’t see what the big deal is. If it’s not “pro” enough, spend the pro money and get the flagship. Of course the O series action is not as good as the current flagship, but it’s probably decent compared to the 25 yo XP-30. The affordable options we have in this current market would have been like a Fairlight to us back in the day. Having now like 2000 user patch storage, instead of bumping up against the stupid 128 internal limit for years and years?

Top of the Pops had a requirement to obscure brand names. Guitar headstock shapes are trademarks themselves, and what makes them identifiable, not to mention the labels are too small to be generally legible on a broadcast.

No F# major key signature necessary when Gb works just fine. F# can be used in a flat key, if the function make sense. I would not destroy the functional notation of a scale run or altered chord to force all flats in a flat key.

Mine is a 49” 32:9. It’s basically half a 4k monittor and 2x 27”. If the OP already uses 2x 26” for work, this is that with no center line. I like it, because I don’t want to wreck my neck looking up at anything taller than eye level.

I think the GrandStage has a better variety of pianos, like 32 Gb worth if I remember correctly. Then you have the CX-3 tonewheel engine from the Kronos and the transistor organ engine, presumably from the Vox Continental. I like the favorites storage on it. The RD-88 has a shorter pivot point action, although if you prefer it, it’s a personal choice. I like my PHA-4 Concert action over the RH3 , but the RH3 over the PHA-4 Standard.

Do guitar players cover the brands on their guitars or amps? To me, fans are interested in the gear you use and it enhances their enthusiasm for the band, so why make it difficult, just to stick it to The Man, which probably makes no difference at all?

We aren’t on the FA series anymore. The Fantom O series has the full tonewheel engine from the 2019 Fantom, which has onscreen drawbars and controls. The O is also compatible with Roland’s ABM Model expansions.

A Nord Stage 3 costs more than this OBX8 and will never be worth more than it is now. The OBX8 looks like a solid investment and may go up quite a bit in value, depending on how many are produced.

I still prefer the CX-3 engine in my Kronos. You also only get 1 instance in the Fantom, only on Zone 2, and seamless sound switching does not work.
