    The QSC 10.2 would definitely do the job. I use two of them all the time. And I use them with a Studiologic Numa X 88 without any additional preamp. What keyboard are you using? That may help us help you. I agree with others - you may have a gain staging issue.
  2. b3plyr
    Well, you will have to find a used Forte - it is no longer in production. Great keyboard, though. I gigged many times with one.
  3. b3plyr
    Couple more. For iPad, try transcribe+. Not only can provide 4 stems but has looping, slow down, pitch change, etc. For the Mac, if you have iZotope Rx Advanced, it can do 4 stems. Expensive but powerful. It can do many hard to do audio operations, and it does them very well.
  4. b3plyr
    I can't speak for WWW but I definitely would leave the Leslie at home and use the sim.
  5. b3plyr
    Another Legend Soul user here. Congrats WWW! I am using the sim and am quite happy with it.
  6. b3plyr
    Good questions. And the answer is they can probably do a lot. The price point is what will make the difference. And to me, weight is always a consideration although I doubt the 88 will be much (if any) lighter than the K2700. I hope it is.
  7. b3plyr
    Yes, but the initial postings said it would be a K2700 minus the audio interface and pads. That is my point. No question it will be a powerhouse, but cost will be the critical issue. As a long time user of numerous Kurzweil products, I will say memory size is important. That is why I am so disappointed the the Forte was discontinued. Best pianos Kurzweil has every had. And they took a lot of memory.
  8. b3plyr
    From the specs shown on the page the link takes you to, there is significantly less memory than the K2700.

    I've got the Legend Soul 273 and am very pleased. Quite different from the original Legend. I'm not sure, but believe the keyed is lighter touch and the Leslie is definitely improved. In fact, since I got it they issued an update that further improved the Leslie sim.
  10. b3plyr
    This is the most underestimated stand that I’ve used. Great stand and I hope the reports of its demise are exaggerated.
  11. b3plyr
    Have you played a Viscount Legend Solo? Or a Hammond XK-5? I have no latency issues with the drawbars. Or presets.
  12. b3plyr
    Totally disagree. I use two sets of drawbars per manual all the time. And this is everything from rock to jazz. I also use the presets in a band or duo environment. My rig is a Viscount Legend Soul. Love the 9 contact effect.
  13. b3plyr
    No problems yet, and I have used the 88 and GT a lot. Sorry to hear of your issues. To be honest, I have never had any problems with Fatar keybed. Of course, others have. I suggest you send an email to Gianni at info@studiologic-music.com. He has been most responsive.
  14. b3plyr
    Not sure about the complaints about sound. I've had great luck in my duo, both with the 88 and GT. Also, for me, having the audio mixer is a real bonus. No more mixer to carry and the mix for vocals is at my fingertips. One more thing, there have already been major updates to the board. Expect more.
  15. b3plyr
    No offense taken - just repeating what I was told. If they did implement such a thing, it would be building a different lookup table for the sample playback. The Nord would not real time make the decisions. In other words, Nord people would determine which samples to use for the mono and then include a “mapping” of the sounds when mono is selected. If they were ambitious, they could even EQ and level tweak. I doubt they do this. You have good points.
  16. b3plyr
    A few years ago I asked Nord what they did with the mono button. Their answer is much simpler than you might expect. They take the best sounding samples from either left or right. That's it. So when you go to mono you are hearing the best individual sample from either the right or left channel. No fancy algorithm or phase cancellation technique, etc.
  17. b3plyr
    This is so true. And how the keybed is mounted (and to what) can make a difference in the feel.
  18. b3plyr
    Which keyboard are you comparing the CK61 to?
  19. b3plyr
    I had a VAX77 and loved it. Dumbest thing I have done is sell it - really regret doing so. I agree the cost is high, but you can get 88 keys. The CME won’t do that. The value of the de Voyage would be a backup for gigs without having to take a full sized backup and also for arranging/practicing while on travel.
  20. b3plyr
    The Pocket Piano also takes a flat surface - it cannot sit by itself on a stand. And how mulch would you rely on the magnets? This may be a better approach: https://pianodevoyage.com . I’m not as negative on the portable approach as Paul, but I do see his points.
  21. b3plyr
    Slight correction. The scar tissue is actually on the back of the lens capsule (not the retina) and is called a Posterior Capsular Opacification. Almost everyone that has cataract surgery will develop this over time. Easy to fix - YAG laser opens a small hole in the back of the lens capsule and you are done. Over 95% success rate. Much better than if there was a retina issue. As to the original question, no problem with reading the music after about 3 days.
  22. b3plyr
    Someone should find out if the Grand 2 has escapement. One reason I got rid of my Grand was that after I bought it, I found out Nord had removed escapement from the Kawai keybed. At the price of the Grand you should have it.
  23. b3plyr
    Great idea on the drawbars. Could use GSI kit also.
  24. b3plyr
    I think you are looking at too small of a sample. I have had no problems with the GT, love the keybed and UI. I actually sold my Nord Grand but compared them while I had both. From my perspective, the Nord pianos really did not overshadow the GT. Some of the other sounds are far better than the Nord - they are multi samples. So be careful, some are unhappy with the keyboard, others love it. It happens this way every time with a new keyboard.
  25. b3plyr
    I agree with the organ comments. Here is my current solution. I run B-3X on my iPad and connect through the excellent USB Midi on the Numa. No, I don't have physical drawbars but can do ok with the touch versions on the iPad. But then again, I didn't get the Numa X for the organs. Note that Studiologic has been coming out with some good updates. I expect you can expect improvements across all areas - and most are really good already..
