I can't believe that George Kaye made an important statement about the position of the modulation and pitch wheels and everyone chose to go with the USB discussion instead. I couldn't care if it was USB V. 1/2 of 1! Give me proper positioning of those wheels! The last keyboard I really felt comfortable with was the DX7 II. You could hang yourself lazily over that keyboard and have the pitch bend right under your fingers without any unnatural moves. Makes me wonder how many actual players there are vs techies? Come to think of it, there are some fine demo's in this group, but I don't remember anyone milking their pitch bend wheel (unless they're using Rolands...worst modulation controls in the world...and the hereafter too!).
