People are always looking for a magic bullet to lose weight that doesn't involve diet or exercise. Likewise, people are also hoping that the next new technological breakthrough in keyboards (arrangers or otherwise) is suddenly going to turn them into Hiromi WITHOUT putting in the work. As Paul states in his signature line, "It's not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist". I, for one, would rather hear SAM CA on that "ancient" little inexpensive Ketron module than MOST (not all) of the proud new Genos owners on their latest toy. Why do we care more about the age of the sound source than how it actually sounds? BTW, I'm glad to see DonM (is willing to) 'go back in time' to a board he LIKES THE SOUND OF despite a possible regression in technology. Bottom and mid-status acts will use a 'clonewheel' but the TOTL acts will almost always use a vintage 'B3/Leslie'. Maybe part of that is because the TOTL musicians can play in ALL the keys without a transpose button (remember the 'old days' when you either had to learn how to play in all the keys OR play everything in the same one or two keys you felt comfortable in). Anyhoo.....nice playing Sam, that AP you opened with sounds really good for an 'outdated' inexpensive module.
