wow , sound fantastic

Nice. I wonder how many different electric piano models are out there in the world?

Dammit Fran, now I GOTTA have that board. Any idea what it costs?

chas

That’s way I need to stop hanging out here! LOL

SPECIFICATIONS
Power rating: 100V AC ~ 240V AC
Output level: selectable -10 dBu, +4 dBu, High Gain (~ +10 dBu)
Headphone output max load: 32 ohm
Dimensions (with cover): 110,6 x 44,7 x 19,0 cm 43,5 x 17,6 x 7,5 inches
Dimensions (without cover): 110,6 x 44,7 x 16,2 cm 43,5 x 17, 6 x 6,4 inches
Weight (piano only): 15 Kg 33 lbs
Weight with cover and legs: 23,5 Kg 51,8 lbs
Weight of the legs only: 3,5 Kg 7,7 lbs
Box dimensions: 119,6 x 53,7 x 27,0 cm 47 x 21 x 10 inches

I wouldn't be moving it, so who cares about the weight. I'm 'old school' when it comes to keyboards and aside from an occasional horn stab or even rarer 'strings', the only 'keyboard' sounds I want/need are AP, Rhodes/Wurli/DX7, Clav, and 'B3'. Since I have the 'B3' (sound) covered with my KeyB, this board would cover 95% of the rest of my needs. I'm going to pre-order this afternoon. Plus, I think Fran should be banned .

I'm calling my guy at Sweetwater after their lunch break.

Thanks, Fran

If you want the sound of the seven and the mojo(arguably bthe best b3 clone) then there is the Gemini module...

Combine this with the DMC122 (both by GSI) and you have the perfect midi controller

Hey guys tell Sweetwater I sent you.... maybe I can get a commission..

Looks and sounds like a great keyboard. If I were still gigging with a band that and a Hammond clone on top would be fantastic. So many great things out there today.

Gee, how many times can music companies re-invent the wheel?
For 2300 bucks you can get a KRONOS and have alot more sounds then that.

Interesting. A lot of guys over on Keyboard Corners seem to like the same configuration but that wouldn't work for me. Because of Arthritis, etc., I play a lot of LH (organ) bass, especially on medium and up-tempo songs (as opposed to pedals) and playing LH bass with the KB elevated that high would give me extreme shoulder fatigue in about 3 minutes. Space permitting, I could only use it in a "L" configuration, and for the most part, use them separately (ala Lucky Peterson, et al). In fact, if I were gigging, I probably wouldn't even use this board, but instead, something smaller and lighter that would fit comfortably on top of my KeyB (pretty much like I have now with the VP770). OTOH, if your orientation is more towards piano/Rhodes than organ, I can understand it.

Just random thoughts, but if you DO use a two-KB setup, how do you determine which keyboard occupies the top or bottom position? Just curious.

chas

Sometimes the appeal of a certain keyboard reaches beyond how many sounds it has, not the least of which is the quality of the sounds you're mainly interested in. That said, I love nearly everything about the Kronos and don't really know why I never bought one (I still may ).

Going back to the B3 days I had the Rhodes on top but then with my first Hammond clone the organ went on top of the Rhodes. I agree LH bass is a lot easier on the lower board but did you ever notice how much the Gospel players play LH on the upper Manuel ?
If I was to use the Seven I wouldn't bother with those spindly legs but put it on a table style stand with adjustable height.

I agree who knows how many reused OLD stock parts are in that thing....
so many other choices for that price point with so much more to offer like the Roland RD2000..to each their own I guess..

https://www.roland.com/global/products/rd-2000/

You do know it is designed for players that loved the Rhodes and Wurly keyboards of past... It is nostalgic... not the same built.. It is a modeled instrument..

The only folks that would understand are old Rhodes players..

As for the Kronos... I passed over that a long time ago.. Same with the Montage... They lack interest to me..

The RD2000 is fine, but not the same for a Rhodes player..

That is why we have choices

why settle if you want a Rhodes then buy a Rhodes ...
......doesn't dave have a suitcase one for sale?

The Seven has 9 synth engines, midi, USB , legs, case, pedal etc..

Have you priced a real new Rhodes with the same features?

Fran you ordered one of these Crumar units also?

Chas ... I'd feel the same way if I didn't have a Korg SV-1 ... check it out!

The DMC 122, with the Gemini engine has all of those.. and 8 more for a total of 17 engines including the best sounding B3 engine available...

https://www.sonora.nl/winkel/gs-i/gsi-dmc-122-kit/

Thats something to consider if you are truely interested in the sound..
or just the gemini module



Add any arranger module... and its golden.

Donny, you have an annoying habit of putting down anything you don't want for yourself....or didn't think of first, not to mention implying that people are stupid for not following YOUR 'far better' recommendations, ignoring completely the fact that THEY are the only ones who really know what they want....and WHY they want it. I think Fran laid out some pretty good reasons why SOME people might be attracted to this board. Maybe you should go back and re-read his posts...and mine. Unless YOU'RE paying for it, I think people like to make their own purchasing choices. Observations, recommendations (based on PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with the equipment), etc. are always welcome, but the TONE shouldn't be, 'any view other than mine is dumb'. Not trying to put you down and I think it's understandable if you've been in the business a long time, to think that you have a knowledge and experience edge over everyone else, but the truth is, everybody's wants and needs are different, and even if something doesn't seem to make economic sense, that may not matter or at best, is just a minor consideration, to the person buying the equipment.

Peace Buddy, believe me, I mean well.

Dave, I did check it out....when it first came out and again today after reading your post above. It's a great board, no doubt about it, but (for me) it's sort of like my Fantom G7; it does a lot and does it all very well, but.....it just doesn't 'light my fire' like the Seven did listening to that video. To me, the 'Rhodes' on that Seven is pure gold; a little more 'perfect' than a real Rhodes (which could give it away - but I'm guessing nobody would be complaining). The Korg may have the better acoustic piano but on the 'bell tone' sounds, I think I'd have to give the edge to the Seven. My main concern now is pairing it up with a PA system that will show it off to it's best advantage. I love my EV's (Sxa250's) but not sure they would be the best match; besides they're now hooked up to the KeyB. However, I have a Leslie 3300 (I kept it when I unloaded the C2D) so I may hook the KeyB to that and the Seven to the EV's. Wish I could audition it with different speakers. Oh well, so many people in this world with much bigger problems .
