Modules are a great option for pro players who like the feeling of a certain key bed, or want to add more sonic options to their setup.

The problem comes in for the home player or occasional party player. Messing with cables and midi channel assignments would probably be a nightmare.

I was hired by a local church to simplify their electronic keyboard setup. The local music store had sold them a module and a midi keyboard. Was a disaster. Even though the Music Minister was an excellent musician and played a huge pipe organ...midi cables and the complexity of setup was to intimidating. We simplified the situation with one single synth.

With the advent of Korg’s EK50...it would appear the simplicity of an all in one arranger keyboard is alive and well. MHO.
