I was the second keyboard player in our Praise Band at one point. Our Director used an acoustic baby grand. I used a Roland XP-80 with much success. The board was great for layering, changing and spliting live. When the Direcotr left and I became the main and only keyboardist, because I wanted the weighted keys in that context, I began using my S90.

I play as a second keyboardist in another band and there I use a Motif ES 7, but here I don;t do much changing and spliting on the fly. IN fact here I play mainly only strings, pads or organs.

The Motif Board though can change on the fly in SeqPlay mode and it does have a great apperiator.

So.. that's my experience.

Best wishes and God bless.
