Gig bag with essentials always in my car.

I come here to wind down...

Thanks Dave, appreciate your insight.

Hi David, How do you compare it to the FA-06? I've been thinking of replacing it with the MODX but wasn't sure how the brass, strings, etc are... I know the APs & EPs are good. Want a good second tier to my RD-2000. Thanks

Ordered mine with the case & stand... sigh.

I see your point & I don't mean this in a bad way... but it seems counter intuitive to have to work so hard to get the right AP sound from the high end Nord where with the RD-2000 you just plug in & play, even the much less expensive PX-5S doesn't need that much massaging.Not that I'm all Roland or nothing but I want to be... inspired. Like I said, not doing it for me... yet. ;-)

Just got a NS388 & the Power Grand (two stacked APs)is the closest to I've gotten to my RD-2000 so far, APs not doing it for me yet. Still not really sure about the mono vs. stereo, in my band we run the keys mono but maybe its time to step up. RD-2000 still rocks my world in hammer action & AP sound.

Back in the mid nineties I loved my Roland D-70. Funny, I wasn't as concerned about a weighted key bed back then as I am now.

Yup, Casio has come a long way in their organ sound. Great AP & EP sounds, great keybed action and affordable for us working dogs... what's not to like.

Built in classical pieces? I believe the "Chordana..." app has you you covered. ;-)

Been meaning to retire my heavy RD-800 with a lighter replacement, this looks like it may be the one.

How are the other sounds other than the AP & EP? I know the PX-5S (used to own the vPX but the 3000 intrigues & tempts me) had really good meat & tater sounds that complimented the main sounds nicely.

Like brother Dave, I built my own "Screen Shades" for my Kronos, RD-2000 & FA-06 on inexpensive 3D material... cardboard. ;-) $34.00 + $8.00 shipping seems pricy to a working musicians wages.

Didn't read through the whole thread book so forgive me if this has been asked already. Are the transitions between sounds seamless or chopped like the MOXF8?

Are those AP sounds on the Kronos?

The difference between what you want to do & what you have to do to pay the bills.

Does the GS have the Austrian Grand? I've tried the demo on the KK2 & it sounds good, although it seems with some inventive tweaking the stock APs could come close.

Been using Westone Ambient Pro 20s & ROLLS PM351... aural heaven! Great sound & your in control of the IEM mix. The passive ambience feature allows you to have both ears hooked up.

The "sine wave" is also full level volume regardless of the volume slider position & even is in the headphones. It isn't always there but enters at the most inopportune moments... I've found if I switch to another sound or press the panic combo it goes away, but may or may not visit again - really frustrating & annoying.

Tom, does it sound like a loud shrill sine wave tone or just white noise?

My Forte 88's doing the same thing. Taking it to the repair shop & probably a long wait for repair. Other than that it's a beast!

The keys sound amazing through the SS3... clean & full!!! The whole band kicks it!

The black woofer speaker wire was not tightly crimped into the PCB plug that leads to the woofer. I tried soldering but for some reason that didn't work.

A follow up on my "woofer" problem & some well deserved cheerleading for Aspen. So Aspen contacted me (here's a fellow who doesn't have to directly help clientele, but he does with authentic kindness & concern) & patiently gave me some very helpful directives on troubleshooting but still nada. After seeing that the troubled SS3 had no "woof" he immediately sent me a new unit bypassing Sweetwater so he could check the old one himself, or as he put it "to learn"... he really cares folks, how rare is that? And yes just in time for weekend gigs & church service. It shows how much pride & love Aspen has for his baby" & Center Point's more than a faceless sterile corporation. When the very busy CEO of a company takes time to make sure you're happy with his product the true vision of Aspen's artistry is revealed, customer, no I mean friend satisfaction. He's not only a game changer in sonic design and the star of the epic mega SS thread, but a true star in customer care!! I commend you Aspen for not only creating the "cure for the common gig" but creating lasting friendships.
