Just FYI: even though NAMM ended this past Sunday, the press releases about new instruments and upgrades are still coming in:

Excellent video on the EKO keybord... I wonder if they will have an arranger module to put in also. I like the concept.

Great little presentation that gave more detail. I gather that whether or not an arranger module would be part of the eKo would depend on whether a company that made an arranger software program, like Jammer Live for example, also wanted to develop their own hardware eKo module so users could just pop it in. Way cool.

I also would think in the future all manufacturers would make all kinds of "MODULES" to choose & install in an EKO type keyboatd so we could all be happy and customize the KB for everyones particular use. Mix and Match = Happiness.

I sure do like the concept of this new eKo keyboard if it can be setup to
work like an arranger KB.
We could customize it to our own liking, & also keep up with latest &
greatest.
This might be what it takes for me to replace the 9000 PRO.

Denny,
don't you think that there's something odd here?

HI: Dreamer
I guess it's just one way of saying that I haven't found anything
good enough to replace the 9000 PRO with, but maybe the eKo
will be the one. ( just my opinion )
Time will tell. But for now, still,

PS: Don't take much to keep me happy ha ?

Just a reminder that even four days now after NAMM, the press releases and NEW video demos are showing up at the Harmony Central location I gave at the top of this thread. Lots of interesting reading.

New Roland V-synth video posted today.
