Didn’t realise it was this thin! It looks like it could be a nice alternative to having a controller under the desk in my studio….if it’s that thin it could sit easily on the desk and still be at a nice height for playing. I’m getting less fussy about action as well. Sure sign I’m getting old.

Absolutely no shame. It’s just a useful tool in emergencies. Just don’t forget to turn off transpose when playing in original keys.

That’s great value at 149. It’s a great collection. Something for everyone. You may not use all of it but certainly will get value out of it and I keep coming back to it time and time again.

I’ve had logic for years. It keeps getting better and better. I think I paid €150 originally and all updates are free since. And they’ve been some pretty big updates as well. Only issue is some updates are reliant to you updating you operating system which will inevitably means broken third party plugins. I’d love mainstage for the iPad. I’m starting with Camelot at the moment but trying to figure out its interface and get a set list type feature organised. I tried out another iPad hosting app called Sunday keys which I think is a fantastic layout. It’s subscription only though. I’m not ready to go down that route.

Yeah 400 I’d buy one and make it work. Great find. Congrats. 👍

PHA-4 standard action....same as the FP-30X according to Roland. Then again could be like the GHS and Yamaha. It sucks in some boards and is fine in others. Depending on the chassis it's put into and how they match it with the electronics.

I found the action very tiring. Heavy and fatiguing. I played a few gigs with it and sold it as my hands were hurting too much. I play acoustic pianos most weeks at work so I don’t mind a heavy action but couldn’t gel with this one. Agree with Keepitsimple about those Roland pianos as well. They’re a little sterile. But it is a good Swiss army style keyboard. It does a lot very well and at a good price.

I wish there was a parody thread sub forum....at least it would be far away from the keyboard stuff that I come here to read.

Don’t even think Beato had to ask any questions. It was about 25 mins in and Wakeman was still telling stories based on the first question. He’s a brilliant raconteur. I could listen to him all day. .

There appears to be multiple ways to save to multiple modes….all named by Emu. There’s ram and rom presets and flash simm presets. Here’s a link to the manual. P155 onwards has detailed info on saving presets. Hopefully you’ll get an answer there. http://snw.lonningdal.no/p2k/OpMan/E-MU_B3_OpMan_revB.pdf

Jeez that’s a throwback. I had one of those about 20 years ago. It used that phased effect to emulate the Leslie speaker right? Not sure how to help you with your issue apart from reading the manual but I’m sure someone here will have some nuggets to share.

Nice job on the end caps 👌

I had a gig in the Savoy, central London a few years ago. I rented a Nord. Was very expensive though. Luckily I didn’t have to pay as was a corporate gig. I’m sure most backline companies will drop to places in and around London. Studiohire I think was the name of the place I rented from.

Oops sorry, misread the message.

There’s another topic about this since earlier in the week. The website sends you to https://artesia-pro.com/pianos/ kurzweil/kap1-portable-digital-piano/ who are Artesia? Are they a subset of Kurzweil or a keybed manufacturer? They also have the larger K series synths on their website.
