No preset / bank buttons .just +/- . does not seem to be a problem for a lot of users .

Donny Hathaway ?

Very good player . I am really impressed by the nord and yamaha , will go and check those out..( the yamaha seems to have improved significantly with updates ,I did not follow for quite a while . I still have my electro 1 and while percussion is a bit artificial and C/V a bit too warbly it is still somehow good .

i also bought Waterfall after briefly demoing it . I will have to test the B3-X again , I used it on a production and liked that one too after some tweaking .I probably should compare them again. Currently I am using a GSI /crumar hardware clone and Hx3/vent but I will soon try the waterfall live . Never used a laptop live before....

Yes it is a a matter of taste . I rememnber I tried the original Numa and thought it was great except something , the rotary sim . I am now playing the vb3 II but will probably be replacing the rotary with a ventilator next season . Probably means I have only 2 outputs and need to organize output setttings

Somebody mentioned the ventilator makes them all sound the same . well maybe . Probably . yep , they do.They sound good with one and more or less ok without one in my humble opinion . nobody got "fast " right , yet except NEO

great song , great band

I've posted about this a few times. For piano technique, they don't really compare, the 88 feels much more piano-like. The 73, having the lighter action, is arguably better for rhodes, wurly, and clav. I think it's more appropriate to compare the CP73 to keyboards that similarly sacrifice action for portability, and in that category it's the best action I've found. I also far prefer it over Korg's RH3. However, I haven't played the newest Casio weighted action, which some people rave about, so can't compare it to that. How do you like your cp73 compared to your seven ? I know some of the sevens sounds from my gemini and I know the older yamaha cp5 . Thank you

Having read this http://ethanwiner.com/speaker_isolation.htm I am not really sure about speaker decouplers/ isolation . I made my own of rubber intended to be put under washing machines and softer foam . Maybe I get some professional and do my own test . After I worked on room acoustics. I went to a store last year to listen to the JBL LSR . The speakers I preferred were much more expensive but I also preferred the Fluid Audio FX8 which were not much more expensive at that time .I bought the fluid audio fx8

I bet it is a bad fatar bubble contact. I opened my nord several times ( because I lost respect for it after they charged me for an entirely new keybed ;-) )

yes, matter of taste , mine is similar to yours obviously

I can also relate to that , having tried both . Out of the box both need tweaking for my taste . Strong points of the hx for me are the top register and the attack , the mojo scores for my taste with a better C/V and -with average mono monitoring- better leslie simulation .On recordings i picked the mojo on 7 out of 10 tracks , the 3 I preferred the hx3 on were hard rock.I cannot play jazz organ(yet). just my 2 ct

I think it is the same on my electro 1 . The custom control set worked out of the box ( with the already mentioned perc exception) except the leslie speed control . Will check the trigger point again

Just working through the thread ,this is an older posting ... Agree on most what you wrote under mojo comparison . It should work with the vent , there are clean audio examples . But should one use the pure organ output of the hx3 or including the amp sim without leslie sim ? How does it sound combining both amp sims ( backed off settings) ? Cheers

Go for it ! Yesterday I heard it in bandcontext with some nice meyersound monitors . The very same ones which made me ditch the clavia . And I did some recordings before . For me the first impression is very important , I think it is great . And people kept coming to me asking what keyboard I played . Last time this happened to me was when I bought the electro 1

Agree , I had my first gigs using it this weekend . Sounds great !! I brought an hx3 to compare but the gemini sounded better out of the box for my taste( no vent), . Rhodes and clav are better than any other keyboard I tried except the real deal ( which I own ) Even the sampled CP70 is usable when the sampled grand is not percussive enough .The JC ampsim reduces the artificial flavour a bit. I have it inside a DMC ( which is very good as well ). Should have bought the external to use with different keyboards .

Thank you very much. 11,5 kg . Looks good , do you know the older discontinued vmk 76 by accident ?

I wanted to write just the same the day before . I would like to have the settings as well if it is unchanged ( the phaser ) I did some quick comparisons to my Yamaha CP5 , I did prefer the phaser and some other effects on the yamaha , maybe it is just easier to modify those for me than fiddeling about with a touch screen , the presets do sound better for me .But the basic sound is better on the Crumar/ GSI . Especially when the GSI is played from the YAMAHA keyboard. BTW the yamaha is too heavy and bulky for me since I moved houses, the seven would be just managable .Cannot afford it now , I try to find an affordable 76 keys fatar to hook up to the DMC/Gemini BTW The week before I recorded keyboards for a CD at home only using the gemini . While playing I had the feeling of "same same , but different ", just a bit better than the nord 2 I used for 10 years or more . But when I listened to the tracks later it sounded much , much better . No additional hardware.

I wonder if it is much differnt from the gemini rhodes . Apart from the fact that it probably feels much better with the sevens kb action.

Are you sure the DX7 II has the full velocity range using it' s own keyboard ? I used a DX7 IID as MIDI controller for quite some time , I always added 10 steps at least in cubase to get fortissimo out of expanders. And it produced strange overly sharp sounds when played from a korg stage piano .

At least bitimbral as it seems ( with the pad which hopefully can be edited via Wifi )

And the legs are 3,5 kg , can be carried seperately. I wonder what kind of wood the case is made of . I think my rhodes case and legs are much heavier . I hope the action feels similar to the dexibell 73 key board
