Eb over G7 ... terminology like that makes perfect sense to me
I think that when you play a triad in the right hand, and the 1 and 7 left, it makes more sense to notate it that way. When i play C-Bb - D-F#-A , i can write down C13#11, but D/C7 gives me a better understanding what/how to play.

I would notate this as a Eb/G7 . Easy and clean.

I’m not a organplayer, so i can’t direcly compare it to a real organ, but i really like the feeling and control it gives me. I taped it onto the gemini module.

Well, a jv2080 should fetch around 350 euros on ebay. You should sell the cards seperatly, around 50-100 each. The ex5r is about 800 euro. The micropiano 75. I would sell it, .

Oh yes, don't forget to include headache of making all the sounds easily available and playable, plus a mixer and a whole lot of cables, power supplies, and an extra shelf to store it all...
You can use pre-programmed PGM changes to switch between sounds. The Mp7 can control 4 CC's directly with pots..so you can realtime add fx or some other parameter. It also has a line input with line-fader. Power supplies are included, and when you are a keyboard player, i assume you have a stash of cables and a keyboard stand to put everything on. The gemini module and crumar d9x , you can put together and place the on the Mp7, so that would leave 1 stand-extension for the peak.
Maybe you think its a lot of effort, but 30 years ago i used to drag 5 keyboard with we to a show, so this is peanuts. I think the improvement in soundquality and playability for rhodes/wurli/organ/synth make up for the hassle.

]What Kawais use the same action - MP7SE? Would that be an alternative?
Yes thats the same RH3 action.

Maybe if someone is not looking for a "All-in -one"" solution, A good alternative would be a combination of a Kawai MP7SE / GSI Gemini module / Novation Peak. That would cost the same as a nord stage 3. Better keyboard, organs , rhodes, synth, maybe equivalent Acc piano. . If you have some spare money you could add a Crumar d9x for better organ controls.

I tried a good powered usb hub now, and the problem stays the same. Maybe a seperate midi interface connected to a laptop/mainstage could be an option. another one would be the gmlabs d9x for controlling the b3 and a nice synth like the system8....it sucks for now, but this road should lead somewhere.

Thnks for all the suggestions. The powered usb hub was a good next step to find the solution. i found one, without the power supply, but i wanted to test it anyway, and then it gave me a suprising result. I connected the hub to the GSI, and the hubs led went on. I connected the oxygen to the hub, power on and no midi. Then i connected the irig keys also to the hub, that one worked power and midi.......and now the the oxygen also send midi to the Gemini. Looks like the irig gave it a jumpstart. I disconnected the irig, the oxygen still worked. I shut down the Gemini and powered it up without the irig attached, and the oxygen did not send midi... until i attached the irig again. So it gets enough power to potentialy work, but the 2 dont seem to like each other i think.

What you haven't validated is the cable you use with the M-Audio and the Gemini, because you indicated that for the IRig test you used "another cable". Try a different cable.
The irig cable is usb A to Micro B, so i can't use that cable for the M-audio.
Just to clarify - you are not trying to power the keyboard from the Gemini? If you are it might just be asking for too much power. It might power up but still doesn't provide enough power for it to work correctly. I would try it with a power supply next.Unfortunatly there is no other way to power the M-audio keyboard than with the USB. I was thinking about using a powered usb hub, but im not sure if this would solve anything. I also can't find any info on power consumption of both keyboards.

Hello, i want to connect a M-audio oxygen 61 gen 4 to my GSI gemini module. I connect the USB A cable to the Gemini. The keyboard gets power for the USB, but i cannot get any midi signal in. So far i checked the USB input of the Gemini, that works with another cable with a Irig keys 37 pro (power and midi). I also checked the m-audio and USB cable on my computer...that works also (power and midi). I updated the firmware of the Gemini. Global channel setting is also good. I really dont have a clu what the problem is. Does anyone have a suggestion? Also i tried to connect the keyboard to the USB B connection of the Gemini, but than i dont get power. Can somebody confirm that this is ok? thnks Marcel

The kawai mp7 has a setting where you can change the L/R output to 2xmono. Piano sound in mono is good enough i think. For monitoring i want to use the headphones output. Only problem atm is that i get distortion because the headphones out is not at line level. But you could make a cable to correct that.. https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/q-how-to-hookup-guitar-pedals-to-synth-or-keyboard (this is a mono version..but can easily be adopted to stereo.
