Nice. Only 39.6 lbs so it's not too heavy although it's almost 3 lbs 'heavier' than my Fantom G7.

Okay, so Domenico is back to making 76 key workstations which is a good thing but I still have a few qualms regarding the Groove X-7. With a touch screen interface it seems to be very awkward to navigate around the X-7 since much of the type print is very small and if you're not careful when pushing it you might be prone to making many mistakes because of the minuscule links. It would have been more advantageous, in my opinion, to include a USB "mouse" interface which would make choosing items much more precise if you ask me. In other words, giving the customer a choice of using the touch screen or a "mouse" to navigate if they want. Maybe there already is 'mouse' capability since the motherboard itself most likely already supports that function although maybe not in the context of the Groove X-7 keyboard itself.

Another beef is the specs on the Lionstracs website doesn't list the amount of polyphony for the X-7 and also the lack of a "front" USB card reader is rather disappointing too.

The Fatar TP9 keybed is pretty good but not top of the line I might add. When you pay over $5,000 (€ 4.390,00) for a keyboard I would like to think you'll get a top of the line keybed included along with it. I know, I know.. nit picking I agree, but nevertheless.

Now the BIG QUESTION regarding the X-7 is the "lack" of comprehensive "arranger" functionality and may indeed quell many arranger keyboardists enthusiasm regarding the X-7, especially at that astronomical price that Domenico is asking for it.

Having said that, Frankieve didn't seem to have any difficulty selling the first one he had in stock which is encouraging for Frank and Domenico both. But the 'lack' of comprehensive "arranger" functionality may be its biggest drawback - after the price that is. I mean c'mon! This is an arranger forum packed full of arranger players and we insist on "comprehensive" arranger functionality in our arranger keyboards. At least I do anyway. To each his own I suppose.

Hey, I wonder if Fran bought that X-7 off Frank? Or maybe Don Mason?? >> The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting... HEY! LOL

All the best,
Mike
