Hello, Damon. I know it's an old thread, but I just have to ask: Do I understand you correctly that the Nord Stage and Lead come with accessible editors? If so, how do they (I mean the editors) compare to the Yamaha ones in terms of accessibility? - Can one tweak all the parameters of a patch? Is it ...

No problem.

FYI, one of the Roland RS-9 has come up on eBay. If you want an 88 semi with sounds, this will work nicely. (No, not me selling it.) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-Roland-RS-9-64-Voice-Synthesizer-/401197803667?hash=item5d6940a893:g:4y4AAOSwLF1X7aD- ..Joe Many thanks. By the time I sell my older ...

Sorry for the late response. Thanks for the tip, this one looks great too. Once I finally manage to sell at least one of my synths I feel like it will be a serious contender. I use a Nektar Impact LX88 successfully with my Kronos2 61, pretty much in the way you are looking for. It has semi weighted ...

Would a CCTV/Video magnifier setup be of any use with things like the M50 touch screen? I think that it could work, but than I have virtually zero personal experience with magnifiers of this kind. My eye-sight was always too bad for 'em. Maybe the colours used or the display size could be an issue ...

Your post was definitively informative for me and I'm sure that other blind or partially-sighted visitors to this forum will also appreciate it. Hello again! So it's nice to find, that I'm ...

You're asking for an 88-note keyboard, but then state you want unweighted keys. That's a tough one, as the purpose of an 88-note keyboard is to mimic the feel of a piano keyboard, which is weighted. In 76 keys, I would recommend a used Roland Juno-Stage. It has a very good feeling keyboard (but no ...

Thanks alot for the reply, Michel. I took a look at it and it looks nice. As you say, it is always best to try these kind of things out before you buy them, but unfortunately there are not so many places where you can go in and actually do it - atleast not where I live. That's why it's always good ...

Looking for a good 88-key MIDI Controller

Hello, can someone recommend me a good 88-key MIDI controller? I just want to control my synths with it - no DAW integration is needed. The Roland A-800 looks good for example, but that one has only 61 keys. Maybe even 76 (or 73) keys would suffice. As far as key-action goes something semi-weighted ...

Thank you, really nice articles.
This is well sufficient for now - the first point was the most important one for me anyway.

Need a Book Recommendation

Hello, guys, can you recommend me a good (E-)book on synthesis? Something not aimed at any particular brand or synth. I came across the list below at some site and although I have read a few articles here and there, I think that a book would give me a lot more: 1) Do you understand subtractive ...
