You have strange feelings, DannyJay -- would you just change from GEM to Solton because there are too few users online on the discussion board?
I had my first GEM WS1 before I knew what Internet was, and I did not know ANY other GEM user (besides my brother), but from that moment I only bought GEM keyboards/synthesizers. Now I have an Equinox, I got in touch with some others, not many, but a few (yes, three or four), which helped me anyway.
Maybe (I think so) you are not comfortable about the equipment itself - then you have another problem.
If not, why not try to share experiences and also styles/sounds with the other members?
Also YOU can help to build this discussion board, but then it is required to not only GET but also GIVE.
Keep in touch!
