It's pretty obvious LIONSTRACS would say that.. BTW if you went into any Music store in the UK and asked them if they had a MS RED SEXY GROOVE X7 they would say " they stopped making long playing records years back young man". Who's fault is that, there is no dealer or importer in the UK for MS, how can I get one to start complaining about it, I have the money waiting.

Yes Tony, but my therapist says that in time, I may recover. At least, partially.

Ye Gods! I can't even PRAISE open keyboards and you all pile on me...!

I wonder sometimes if you guys even bother READING my posts... as long as it has my name at the start, the same crap gets boilerplated out.

Some of you fail to understand that this is an ARRANGER forum. As such, there are a LOT of pretty nontechnical players here, a lot of amateurs, and a lot of players that haven't really kept up with technology. Now, you guys are obviously forward thinkers, on the cutting edge, yada yada yada , but you have to understand that not everybody is like you. I've always been upfront with how much and how long I've been using computers and VSTi's (and you have always done your best to ignore it) but at least I'm aware that many haven't done this. And I try to write from their perspective, just to balance the wild enthusiasm for this new type of keyboard.

None of you has had, let's just say a trouble-free experience with it, and that is with prodigious technical skills. I simply wish that some of you could perhaps post with this fact in mind. It is altogether too easy to simply forget that much of what you take for granted is absolute Greek to most arranger players. All I ever try to do is inject this into your threads, lest anyone be fooled into thinking that using one of these things approaches the ease and simplicity of an arranger... after all, that's where we are ALL coming from, on this forum.

There have been forums for years about samplers, sampling, orchestral virtual production etc., but I doubt but a handful of our members here go there. Offering a balanced and objective opinion and demos about open keyboards would be a great service to our membership, but so often I find myself having to add these details to otherwise incomplete posts, doing little but evangelize the open concept.

I've been doing orchestral production using a combination of VSTi's, samplers (usually my Kurzweil reading Akai disks) and closed keyboards for well over fifteen years. If you think that I am in no position to comment about open keyboards, you are sadly mistaken.

If you don't want ME to put in the caveats and reality checks to your posts, PUT THEM IN YOURSELVES.

Yes I do Diki, with some fascination, I am draw in like a moth to the light bulb or a fly to a jam pot!
