I'm still longing for a 76-note keyboard that I could use with my PSR3k or Hammond XK-1. The Kurzweil SP-76 looks very interesting. Does anyone have any knowledge of this board. Any other suggestions for an under $1000 board? I think the NP-30 and WK-110 are out of the running.

Donny, I always have the fever. Because I use so many SMFs, the arranger is only a minor accessory. I saw a SP76 for a great price; if it pans out that would be nice.

As far as the OMB thing, it's going nowhere. I keep thinking I can get the trio up and playing. Right now I'm looking forward to Florida Feb. 15 - March 15.

I basically hang outhere because everyone is so cool - like you.

Best SMF player I ever used.

Donny is right, the Midjay is a powerful module. You can mix midi files, MP3s, waves, loops, style, right there, and you get those great Ketron sounds.

Maybe a Roland E60 would do it for you.

Glen - Feb 23 - Mar 8 we'll be in Indian Rocks Beach (Gulf side). Before that, probably Cape Coral and after the 8th we'll visit Vero Bch. area. My page is still up and can be reached in two ways - www.cassponline.com and www.cassp50.googlepages.com

Donny - I haven't had much luck with modules and the Midjay seems a little expensive for this cheapskate. It does look nice, tho.

Scott - I have actually thought about the E60, but I haven't seen one around my area. If I did that, I'd definitely have to trade the PSR3000 (which would be OK with me). Is anyone selling them in the US? What's the going price? And what about the EXR7s? Are there any of them out there?

I don't come close to using arrangers anywhere as much as the rest of you. I'm an SMF guy and use my arranger styles sparingly.
