Donny,

Tony can burn...I like this one too, although it freezes half way through.

61 keys on the XK-1...no problem for a pro like Mr. Monaco.

I'm still giving the XK-1 some serious thought...if I don't buy the Tyros4, I may just keep the S910 and get an XK-1.

Ian, having an XK-1 low and any other keyboard high is FUN! They need to be really close together if the top one is an arranger, or you have to have an easily operated midi set-up to switch the bottom one from controller to organ.


I often take an old XB-2 to use on the bottom, and a little Np-30 for my right hand at 90 degrees.

I really like to use multiple keyboards and frequently add a synth on top. Bought an SH-201 for that purpose and a GW-7 for the right hand, but haven't used them as much for that purpose as I should.

I use a workstation and an old Yamaha tone generator, plus an old Korg Micro Synth believe it or not on lots of jobs where the primary board is an MS-60 or some kind of piano. A Stage Nord is really good as a second unit...great Rhodes and Hammond sounds in a light package (very red, though!).

Knock yourself out!

Very cool Russs....


BTW what happened to those pictures from The Lexington festival performance for us??

The XK1 uses a FATAR keyframe, so you should be able to find a pretty close match for the LM. Using an old XB2 is a good idea though and if it has version 2 software you can use the drawbars to control the lower voicing. Even an XB2 with a MUSE fault (distorted sound) will be fine - and dirt cheap on ebay if it is faulty. If its a version 1.0x you can always add the V2.0x software.
