The question still remains whether a module of any kind can be used effectively with the SK1 when it comes to changing leads between the two. Once this is answered, I can know which way to go. I can see that layering is what would happen, most likely. If so, it would be a question of r/h volume, I guess.
The following I know:
1. Rhythm is most important, and easily attainable either way.
2. modules would provide the rhythm and, at least, layering.
3. The SK1 has libraries of other acoustic and electronic sounds that I can very easily layer or solo on r/h. However, not the quality of good modules or kbs, I would guess.
4. As a compromise, I would reluctantly go with a second keyboard, but would rather have an SD40.
I appreciate everyone's thoughts, and would really like to know from you midi gurus the answer to the r/h lead question.
Bernie, i checked the manuall...
The voice structure of the SK1, allows for 1 upper, 1 lower and one extra voice(which can be assigned to either lower or upper..
On top of that there are 3 extra voices assigned to midi channels, you can program that extra voices keyrange....
You can assign all these 6 voices (3 internal and 3 external voices) to a patch which is kind of a keyboardset on the pa4x...
You can assign these patches to your favorite buttons on the SK1.. so if you created a patch that only sends on external 1 midi zone and then assign that to the midi channel where the sd40 receives midi for rughthand voices, you would have a single button to switch between sk1 righthand and SD40 righthand..
So basically with some diving into the menu's and some programming you can create exactly what you want... a single button on your sk1 to switch between sk1 voices and sd40 voices...
So yes, the sk1 can work perfectly together with the SD40, if you know how to program it.. ( all according to me diving into the manuall, not from handson experience)
