Victor,
OK, thanks for the input...I think I will also build a custom cabinet. My good friend next door is a cabinet maker and has his shop. The MIDI stuff I eat for lunch...the Musical stuff is where I'm trying to learn.

I actually beleuve once I get this thing built..it may be better than the Stagea..in some ways. Even though if the MIDI is good on a stagea..if I could get one...that's what I would do. Have you watched most of the Stagea you-tube videos?? Un freeking believable! They must have some sequence files they als use for some of the parts. Maye some audio as well...hard to tell. But they do play MOST of it. We can do the same!

As to pedals...I think I will sell my PK-5.
I would like 2 octives...have you found a 20-25 pedal MIDI unit that is good??
