Thanks Coker

Question for SP-6 owners - is it true that you can't assign the SW2 pedal to DataInc/DataDec except in global override mode? One thing I do on my K2500X and PC2R is set SW2 on one setup to SetupInc, but not on the next higher numbered one - that way if I accidentally hit the pedal twice nothing bad happened - Can I config this way on SP-6? Thanks! /j

In the last week I was lucky enough to play an SP6 and a Medeli SP4200. They felt different to me. The SP4200 was, for lack of a better term, "mushier" (i.e., it didn't have a hard bottom), while the SP-6 was much more like a piano action, even to the point that I noticed I needed a little extra effort to hit the keys. I liked the SP6 much better. BTW - has anyone been able to compare to an SL88? (i'm also thinking about the SL73 when it comes out sometime in August). - thanks!

where in the US are you located?

nothing

Ok - I got some time with a Kurzweil SP-6 today - very nice unit. Not too heavy to carry, and the keyboard action was quite good. It felt like there was real mass in the keys. The amount of effort to press down was -slightly- more than I would like, but i much prefer that to those with a light touch (too easy to brush a key you don't want to). I think the action compared well to my K2500X. The sounds were also awesome - clearly all 16b Kurzweil quality. Seems like it has everything one needs, without too much of anything. It could replace most of my gear (including the 2500X) Starting to lean this way big time :-)

I'm told the SP6 (and, I'm guessing, because of the weight) the KA90, both have action/keybed by Medeli

I'm told that the SP6 samples are much better than PC2 (so, better than PC3?). The Medeli keyboard is a balance between weight and action, so I'm really curious to hear more about it compared to their older Fatars. I may have a chance to try one out myself in a couple of weeks and will post back, but I'm interested in anyone else's experience too.

Hi - Although my K2500X is my main board, my wife and I started doing OpenMics, so for that I use an Alesis Q88 + PC2R, as the K2500X is not so portable :-). Only good thing about the Q88 is the weight and price (as originally I wasn't sure how much use it would get), but now that I'm using it more I'd like something better. The SP6 has really caught my attention - the first Kurzweil product with VAST light enough to carry around. Could replace both the Alesis AND the 2500X. My fear is that as some have noted, it's in some ways a compromise product. Can anyone comment on - keybed vs K2500X (Fatar TP10) - sounds vs K2500X (I've been a bit disappointed with the PC2R sounds - I suspect they're 8b vs 16b in the 2500X = so my concern is that the SP6 sounds may also be compressed to cut cost) What would probably really make me happy is a 25lb. Forte, but.... :-). Anyway - if anyone has done comparisons I'd love to know your thoughts. Thanks! /j [My plan B is to swap the Alesis for an StudioLogic SL73 (Fatar TP100LR, 24lb.) when they start shipping in August]
