If you're an auto accomp arranger style keyboard player that requires quick on the fly access to all the arranger buttons while playing I don't recommend going the module route. I used to use a Roland RA800 (module version of the G800) along with a 'Roland A33' or 'Fatar 1176' keyboard controller, and found the module impossible to optimally position for easy access of its arranger buttons when playing the keyboard controller. I think modules better suited for karaoke vocalists, and solo instrumentalists (guitarists, horn players, accordionists, etc). A 'one piece' arranger keyboard unit's the best option imo.
Scott,
I used the Ketron Midjay for a long time. It was pretty easy to position it to where you could easily access all controls; if fact it was easier than reaching them on some arrangers.
This Roland module should be even easier because it is smaller.
Also, you should have full midi controller from the controller keyboard, plus the foot controller and pedals.
I am going to try one for sure. Subject to changing my fickle mind of course!
