3+volume is enough for me, don't like a lot of foot buttons--I find if it's a well-designed layout i can quickly use my hands for a lot of functions, but I use start/stop a lot so need that by foot. didn't like the T2 for reason of its layout. my old korg is35 is a dream to use on the fly.

re playing pianistically, you are saying if i don't use sustain pedal i can't do that? i don't agree. try playing a couple of hours w/o sustain by yourself..maybe you'll see what i like about doing that (but maybe you won't lol) you may have misinterpreted my humility re not having formal piano training as my being unable to use sustain properly..not so..i'm not great at it, because i don't do it much..but that's because i just prefer not to use it..personal preference. 76 keys would open me up for more and better splits as well. I dislike splitting 61 keys. i pump my LH bass when i choose to do that in full or piano mode w/ electric piano sounds or guitar sounds that have a nice bottom i can use for bass lines. I'll use a couple splits where there is no way to use the bottom of the sound..like if i have a flute or vibes, i'll put guitar on bottom, but mostly I feel the 61 cramps splits too much.

Tell me more about the midi pedal thing..intriguing..how would that be set up and operate?? don't tease, u are now
giving me hope w/the E60 choice again...
