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...

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 .
