Since the acoustic piano sounds are identical on all Dexibell keyboards, you can listen/watch any of the Dexibell videos on YT. There are some that are good. I have five Dexibell keyboards and the AP is excellent on all of them. To me they are better than any of the keyboards I own. Part of this is attributable to the basic power of the engine, which is a quad core processor that is capable of 320 oscillators at once. In addition their sampling time is 15 seconds, which is much longer than the usual 3 seconds. On top of all that their modeling is very well designed and implemented. They really know what they are doing.

The Leslie sim has extensive editing of parameters.

My guess is that the SKx is going to be excellent. A top level player. There would be no purpose in them simply doing a warm up of the SK2. The competition is tough with some great stage keyboards out there. I hope that HS would have been intelligent enough a couple years ago when they started developing the SKx to know all that. I guess that it will have much better control layout than the SK2, with an organ based on the XK5 but without the elaborate keyclick setup of the XK5. I think that the EVs will be much improved. The technology has made huge leaps since the SK2 was released. All of the competitors have EV's that are light years ahead of the SK2. The SKx will have very good EV's. This is going to be a killer instrument. I have already placed my order.

Not impressed. Looks like a showroom to me,- not like a workspace. Some unnecessary collection/assortment of keyboards for a working musician,- except you´re a instrument collector. I´m irritated from all the speaker pairs and how these are set up close to the walls and/or down on the floor. How did you hide all the cables ? Are there any at all ? What are you doing w/ all the gear ? A.C. I enjoy the technical aspects of electronic instruments. I prefer to use a modular approach to my setup. I realize that everyone has different approaches that they prefer - this is mine and it works well for what I do.

It was good to have the PM conversation with you - If you have any more questions, let me know.

What´s the "art" ? And do electronic machines offering a "keyboard" and being released not very long time ago already need a "museum" ? I normally expect to find pictures/paintings, mummies and these "marvelous old stones" from the era of nebukadnezar kings, but not NORD keyboards or MOJO organ clones (and others) in a museum. And why there are no cables when there are the speakers ? Do the speakers already need a museum to ? What kind of "show up" s##t is this ? A.C. I do like visual aesthetics in addition to sound aesthetics. The cables are all hidden - mostly run along the stand frames.

Thanks for the tip ---- I will try that again - I would rather post the photos instead of making someone go to Goolgle Photos. I did not make the stand - bought it.

Are you from Nebraska? If so, what part? Lincoln

Nice Voyager knobs. Why is nothing wired/powered up? Are you a distributor for this gear? I don't like the standard Moog knobs so I refinished them with a textures black satin finish. No I am not a distributor - just like the gear.

Lovely collection but not a cable in sight.... Yeah I make great efforts to hide all the cabling - run the cables along the stand frames ----

I suspect a lot of the guts of all the pieces are the same. Yes - that is true. They use the same quad core processor in all of their instruments. They also use the same sounds, sampling and modeling.

Google Photos does not work with this forum to display photos so here is a like my my share Google Photos.... https://photos.app.goo.gl/NHZB9JsoIpO63wpd2

Mine all take about 40 seconds to boot up. It is that quad core processor that is so powerful - I don't mind the time but I only play my Dexibells at home. So - different situation than a performer on the road.

I am a big fan of Dexibell. They have taken a somewhat different approach to their instruments. All of them use the same basic engine - a quad core processor that can handle 320 oscillators and unlimited polyphony. The build quality is excellent and the sounds are quite fine. I think that they have the best piano sounds of anything I have heard. The controls are well designed.

I am very impressed by Dexibell. I have five of their keyboards, including an S3. It is wonderful - excellent build quality, very nice controls and wonderful sounds. To me, their piano is the best of any keyboard I have.

Plastic, plastic ----- That is an important issue for me and why I would not buy an SP6 or a Roland___ or a Yamaha____. I would much rather pay more to get metal construction. And I do very much like my Atris 7.

I have two XK5's and think that they are excellent. The build quality, flexibility and sounds are quite good. I happen to use mine with 3300's but the Leslie effect is well done.

I cannot find instructions for how to post photos per the above request.

Ok, pardon my ignorance but I cannot figure out how to post photos per the above request. I have the photos on Google Photos.

I told him I would hold in confidence whatever he said. Maybe he will see this thread and comment......

All leslie effects get criticized, don't they? That is the truth

Ok --- I will post some photos...... BTW I was honored to have Mitch Towne come by a couple weeks ago and play some of my keyboards ----- He is a wonderful guy.......

I an not an endorsing artist. I have two J7's, two Classico LE's and one S3. I do like equipment and the various technical aspects. In the general category I also have an Artis 7, Electro 5D, Stage 3, Numa Organ 2, XK5, Legend, Legend Live, Moho, C2D. As far as music, I like a broad range of music including jazz, rock and blues.

The S3 is a very nice keyboard. It is quite nice. The build quality is excellent - metal and solid. The layout of the panel is oriented to buttons instead of knobs. It is well thought out and easy to use with nice flexibility. It has four zones for layering and splits. You need to use the menu to do these but it is easy to do and deep diving is not necesary. Selecting sounds (they call programs) and prgrams (which they call multis) is very easy with buttons or a wheel at your choice. I like the feel of the keybed but this is so subjective ..... The sounds are quite nice. To my ear, Dexibelle has the best piano. The samples are up to 15 seconds long and the little sounds are so well done. There are some good YT vids comparing the S3/7 to others. The other sounds are nice. Some have criticized the Leslie effect. There are no drawbars or sliders for the Hammond organ. Their engine is the same across all of their keyboards. It is a quad core processor - 320 oscillators and unlimited polyphony. All of my Dexibells (5) have been flawless in quality and rock solid - no glitches. Overall, I really like it. I am a bid fan of Dexibelle.

How difficult was it to change the springs? I will receive mine on Tuesday and have not played one. I will be interested to see how the action is. Thanks
