  1. I'm looking at the drawbar sliders and there are buttons in front of them where my wrist would be resting when I'm tweaking them. Otherwise this looks like a nice board given the price point, perfect as a rehearsal board. I had a Juno stage for a while, the keys were good, but the DACs were not top tier (the same patches sounded much clearer on my FantomX rack). I suspect the keys on this will be a step down, probably same as Juno G/D. If this gets young players with less cash into playing drawbars then I hope they sell a ton of them.
  2. It is perfectly legal to copy for educational or research purposes 10 per cent or one chapter, whichever is the lesser, of a book. And he is trying to teach himself keyboard, which comes under "educational". So if someone has Jordan's book you could certainly scan the first chapter and send it to our friend China if you felt so inclined.
  3. Hey, I've been checking in on a few forums over the last coupla months and was initially prompted to sign up and post when I saw a guy on harmony central's forum being seriously overquoted for a digital piano by a local dealer. Too many OT:pol posts to wade through there though. So now find myself mainly returning here. My name is Peter. I live on Tasmania's north island (aka Australia). Started out on organ then got interested in jazz in high school. Covered alot of the theory ground during my years at uni but am only now beginning to find the time to get my chops together. First paying gig was with a jazz outfit doing Nat Cole material in 1988, have since played my way through too many pubs, and paid my way through university subbing for the wallpaper in numerous restaurants and hotels. Presently cut back to doing the weekend-warrior thang gigging with a 10-piece old-school funk band. Very welcome change. Rediscovered Herbie's Headhunters stuff and now George Duke. So I picked up a KX-5 in fine condition off ebay a month or so ago and in the next few weeks will be programming my newish Evolver to work with an EMU proteus 2k providing Hammond, rhodes, wurly and clav. Looking forward to lugging what I reckon has gotta be close to the smallest keyboard rig I've ever come across. Otherwise I have a Kawai MP9500 for jazz gigs. Hoping Hammond-Suzuki release an XK-3 rack soon please. In my spare spare time I am trying to finish a PhD in an unrelated field. I have just posted re wireless midi so if any of you have any experience with the units available comments would be much appreciated. Cheers, Peter
