Hi Bill, I agree that building these contraptions will be technically challenging and never be as ergonomic as the factory designed solutions offered by Wersi. Dual manuals with a pedal board is a must have feature for serious organ players. I lo

Great combination, however, it does require a lot of setup and Indepth knowledge of Midi and Audio to get it working. (Plus, I don't think the other half would allow it in the lounge) Don't forget you need a pedalboard to get the best from an organ.

Ha! I watched the 2 videos by Vivian and was compelled to make and instant purchase too. This is like having the Circle of 5ths on steroids. I can’t believe how she managed to squeeze in so much information. This sure beats the Noisy Clan Wheel

Hello!! Your Music Theory Wheel looks more intense and versatile than mine!! I ordered one. I've passed out extra circle of fifths wheels to friends over the years. Most of them have never heard of them. I love when old turns into new. -charley

John Mike just verified that the boot time in the KRONOS 3 has indeed been reduced to 48 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7vizvfDziA Luciano stressed the point that even though the shell looks the same as the older model, the KRONOS 3 h

Hi Bill, Yes, I see your point. I agree this combo will not work out for gigging musicians. The Roland RD-2000 EX weighs 48 lbs. It is not easy to move around when you consider the extra weight of the necessary road case to safely transport it. N

That would be a bueatiful combo but if your a gigging musician I'd hate to have to move the RD2000 around. I have the FP90, the basic piano version of the 2000 and in its case it's got to be about 75 lbs. Its only been in the case once when I wanted

OAX1 is an organ with arranger features and is exactly the same as all the other organs in the range. The big 3 are dedicated arrangers that require plenty of workarounds if you want to add pedals and 2nd keyboard to operate like an organ. (An organ

Hi Bill, I agree with you. The ideal solution for playing the Piano, Organ and Synth sounds is to have a dual manual setup. The lower manual can be the Roland RD-2000 EX with its superb Progressive Hammer Action (PHA-50) 88 weighted keys with esc

Hi Charley, Yes, it is exactly like the Circle of 5ths Tool, except that it is meant to work for the MODES. I use this Circle of 5th Tool Wheel made by Noisy Clan. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CC9C4H9T/ I found it very useful. It comes with th

Hello! I like these types of tools. This looks like an extension of the Circle of Fifths. I have a copy of that Circle of Fifths staring me in the face whenever I play. -charley

Seems to me a roland VR 730 would do a decent job for a lot less money. Put it over a decent DP with weighted keys and your there. I'd rather have a full time piano and be able to jump to the second keyboard for other sounds. But thats me. 😎
