I'm rather conservative when it comes to how keyboards look.

I can barely deal with the silver colors being used so much today, and, if given my druthers, I'd like to see the return to darker colors (grey or black), or even a decent looking, not Mac-Tac, walnut wood grain.

The red Nord instruments turn me off, and I'd wonder how many jazz organists, other than yourself, would be more likely to buy a C1/2 if it was in polished black or wood?

I never minded any marks or bruises on my Hammond...it gave it a "well-used" look, in my opinion, and each scar had a story, much like people.

The red Groove just doesn't appeal to me at all...the black one is a little better looking, in my opinion, but I still think it is, in your words, too "aggressive"...the graphics and brightly colored switches aren't what I want to see facing me every night.

It makes me want to say, "The Groove is trying too hard to be cool."

I love the red color. We have Nord to thank for that. Actually the more lights the better for me. It really does make you feel like you are getting your money's worth.

I'm very much thinking about purchasing one myself. The open synth, it's a great concept. I've been a fan of Linux/Ubuntu for quite awhile now.

Do you prefer the Groove in Yellow?


then you totally forgot my e-mail from several years ago. I asked if it is possible to have black or red color for MS.you told is not time because you had many silver case.

but it does not matter. it was good idea and good decision.

Now think about this color because it will be very great:
Chrome steel

Once again, too much agonizing about my tone, and virtually zero discussion about the actual POINTS I make...

C'mon, guys! Look around at the groovebox community, and the tools they tend to use, nowadays. If this is a groovebox, where are the pads? A different color and some different graphics slathered over the same old we've seen in a different coat before does NOT turn this magically into a groovebox. Look at the controllers made for Ableton Live, look at the Electribe's and their successors. They aren't 76 note keyboards.

Maybe I only SEEM relentless about Lionstracs because I'm the only one actually NOTICING this stuff?

BTW, anyone actually got an answer to my question about the LED brightness, or would you rather ignore all this and just make comments about the tone again?

This is starting to turn from an arranger forum into a 'suck up to Lionstracs or get flamed' forum...
