Maybe I didn't give the 70 my all - dunno? It really is too heavy (major downfall).

- 61 keys w/speakers
- Variphrase (yes, I like)
- Familiarity with the OS (had 4 of them over the years)
- Keybed is extremely good too
- Morphing editing can produce some interesting and useful performances

Zuki & don't forget the Roland AX7 you mentioned for when you go out into the audience with your headphone mic!

Ahead of the game Donny - sold the AX1 for this one out in late July '09

That's good to know, Cassp...I played Hammond for years, and you can't beat the real drawbars for control...and the Leslie sim on the XK1 is excellent.

It's highly likely I'll be doing a blues thing in the summer and the XK1 would be perfect for my needs.

Thanks.

I meant seeing YOU playing it in your act

I saw the AX-7. Can't wait to try it. Onboard sounds (Sonic Cell) make it a lot simpler to go wireless.

But I tried the older MIDI remotes Roland made, and ergonomically on the left hand controls and bender, it was a pale shadow of how good the old Yamaha KX-5 is. Much better, bigger keyboard, though (although it makes moving around more cumbersome)...

A friend has told me there's someone quite close to me that has a Roland V-Accordion. I can't WAIT to try THAT out! No dealer anywhere NEAR me has one of those...
