Very helpful advice, Diki. I am using the CLASSIC piano on pg 3 of the e60 piano pages. I am not the best piano clunkerer around, so most of my 'spiking' is probably my fault. Everything else checks out as you suggest. I guess I just don't care for the upper octaves of most digital keyboards - it gets thin up there. That's one good reason to have a 76/88, otherwise I would find myself pressing the octave down button all night.
