You don't care and won't listen? that will get you a lot of customers, yeah right. I don't want to fight with you, man, because i may be on the verge of trading for an Ms X76 and will need to have a good relationship. But your attitude is not going to make you the king of keyboard sales, that's for sure. It's just the opposite of what you are saying about home keyboards. Sure the big boys who have roadies and such will use the biggest and best keyboards available, why not? For all the rest of us pros, those big keyboards become the "home' studio units, and the so-called "home" units like T2 etc. become the units we take to the gigs, because we don't have roadies or want to break our bodies down just because something
is "better"..we know we can make good music on "plastic".
Even if i get your MS X76, I will be taking a new E60 or pa800 or in the interim my old Korg is35 or Technics Kn2600 to my gigs, and use yours at home, unless there
is a very very special event I want to pull out all stops for and get some friends to help me with the big load. All the
units you compare yours to fall into the same problem for us, it's not that yours is heavier than theirs, it's that they are all too heavy for our gigging use, and that represents a whole lot more customers for you than the ones you are
gunning for now. If you don't care about that, fine. It's amazing how lightweight plastic becomes denigrated by all the purveyors of steel and wood units. If a kb is well constructed electronically, it doesn't matter 99% of the time that the shell is plastic. Plastic can be very well constructed as well as poorly built, and can hold up for many many years of normal use. After i had my is35 for a while, i bought a similar i30 on ebay, on the reports that it had some superior features to the is35, and it was better constructed from metal. Well, i sold it 2 weeks later, because it was so much heavier, and the few slightly better sounds were not enough to overcome that. That plastic is35 still serves me well, and has held up through lots of hard knocks. Please understand, none of this is intended as a criticism of the Mediastation, which sounds like a wonderful instrument i would like to have. it's just
that there will always be limitations on your sales if you
are 60 lbs, whereas if you were 30 you would have a product that would be more usable for 90% of pros. So that's why i said it can not be the future at 60lbs, but it can be something wonderful nevertheless. All the best.
