If I use it for accomp only, it would make a light rig for sure. _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Audya 76,Yamaha S970 , vArranger, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40, Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

Bill old stock... There hasnt been produced a single bk7 since Roland Italy was closed.. Not sure of the relevance of Roland Italy as the BK7m is made in China, as far as I am aware Roland Italy had nothing to do with the BK7m as it was conceived by Roland US and selected for production via Roland Japan. (It was going to be the replacement for the Roland G70 called the G90, however when Roland pulled out of the TOTL Arranger market, all the development was incorporated into the BK7m) In addition if a product is discontinued it says so on the Roland website, yet all the Roland sites still have a buy now button, not a discontinued button. Bill The whole BK series as well as all previous Roland arrangers where designed by Roland Italy. Who have allways been a semi independant part of Roland. So yes, the BK7 was developed in Italy. But thats not the discussion here... its about Bernie that wants to couple his SK1 with the Ketron SD40...

In that case, a cheaper module would be more practical. _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Audya 76,Yamaha S970 , vArranger, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40, Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

Hi Bernie You need to get the Midi implementation tables out for both the SK1 and your chosen module, and then write down what matches and what doesn’t before you make up a plan. In most cases users just set up the keyboard to output left and right hand on 2 different channels, and then use the SK1 To turn the inbuilt organ sounds on and off, with the rest of control being done by the module, which is normally to the left of the keyboard. (Basically everything is controlled by the module (With foot switches if needed) with the SK1 just used for playing and organ on/off) Hope this helps Bill _________________________ English Riviera: Live entertainment, Real Ale, Great Scenery, Great Beaches, why would anyone want to live anywhere else (I�m definitely staying put).

[/quote] The BK line was Roland US, (Hence its different makeup to the G & E series) however the rest of the arrangers were by Roland Italy.

Bernie9 Senior Member Registered: 09/21/02 Posts: 5520 Loc: Port Charlotte,FL,USA	I'll do that Bill. I see there are 9 templates including the extra channel for "OTHER" voices. I think the SK1 is capable of more than I know(like other keyboards.
