Chas,...MIDI is nothing that new....
yes I know all about it but it does absolutely nothing
for MY NEEDS at all. Years ago 70's/80's I always performed
in a band with 4 keyboards without MIDI....
a B3/147 leslie & Fender Rhodes at a right angle
second tier a Juno 60 & Crumar Performer
It was heaven.. not an arranger KB in sight.
