Hi John,
Thanx for the input, and I know most folks will laugh at the i5s too ... there's just "somthin'" about it .... I think it's the whurly sound. It's a perfect ep/bass/drum unit as a backup - no menus to look through - no load time - better than average electronic sounds .... it's perfect on top of the Rhodes, or as a backup for emergencies. I used it all month at school for rehearsals for "Little Shop of Horrors" so I could leave it there and not miss my PA800 for weekend work.
I really think I'm a candidate for a bk7m, now that I revamped my studio space.The nord will be a stand alone EP/Organ/Clav and the VK8 will trigger the module as serve as a second manual for (rare) 2 handed organ stuff.
Now - to get started on my garage sale!!!!!! Who needs what??????
