The old PSR740 had a neat feature, a button that converted ALL styles to "swing" versions. In effect it doubled the available styles. Not all worked out but most did. In other words a slow 4/4 could become a slow 2/4 shuffle with one press of the button.

Sorry Tony. I must have been confused by the fact that I was the only one you quoted. I guess paranoia must be another quality of us "gangbangers". Oh, and pardon me if I get offended at racial inuendo, although certainly no supprise, given the source.

Oh, I think lightweight (maybe aluminum) flush-mounted adjustable legs built into the bottom of the keyboard would be new, novel, and convenient. Perhaps a small, removable, second tier that could be mounted on top of the keyboard or, better yet, built into the top of the keyboard case, flush-mounted and folding like the bottom legs. What do you think? BTW, if any manufacturer adopts this, remember, you saw it here first.

I also think purpose/model specific telescopic legs would be a great addition. I cannot imagine it would be all that expensive to implement and would probably only add about $100 to the purchase price. (Although some manufacturers might claim its the best thing since sliced bread and charge accordingly!!)
After all you got legs with the rhodes and cp70's amongst others.

When I said flush-mounted, I forgot to say FOLDING, except flush (recessed into the bottom of the keyboard case). Wasn't sure if I made that clear but that's important because it could then sit on a conventional stand or table.

Chas I figured you would mistake my gang mentality statement judging by your gangbanger reply.....try a Thesaurus there are multiple meaning to certain words, btw it's :innuendo" with two "N's"

Secondly.....My old Farfisa Compact Duo had fold out legs that were very steady .....be nice to see that again on these light weight KBs for sure...
