Well, at least I'm interested. I too would consider coupling this - or another, better mod released at MusicMesse - with a digital piano. Even though I would be adding pieces to my sparse rig, the weight factor would still be good, I'd have 76 or 88 keys and I might even get a better piano sound than I now have with my s910.

Not dissing the Audya... It sounds amazing, and I would probably buy one if I only could afford one... it costs more than my car!

Guess I could sell the car, but I need that car to drive to the gig, and I doubt my wife would ever forgive for forking out 7.5k for a keyboard.... how do you spell that sound Homer Simpson makes? Dhough? smile

He said 1000, I said 900 range smile smile

Oh well.. he can have it. Maybe the market price will be a bit lower, I'm guessing this is the MSRP?

Still no button for a Break/Fill. This would probably be a deal-stopper for me.
