I am absolutely delighted with my new SK1, and with all the extra voices, it is perfect for my band. Always trying to push the envelope, I am thinking of light weight additions to add rhythm for other occasions. I sold John C my old Korg Mini, but need something where I have the Hammond on the bottom and trigger the rhythm from the left hand and play occasional non organ lead on top.

Bernie A MIDJAY pro would be perfect for your setup with the SK1...why carry another keyboard..?

Maybe a Roland BK5? 16 lbs. 9 oz grin

I know where you can get one bounce

Donny,
I thought about MidJay Pro or SD40, but with l/h organ,e.g.,how would I switch from r/h SK1 to Ketron voice without a lot of key presses? The rhythm part is great. I have my S910 on top now, but---two keyboards.

Bernie, BK7m. Great sounding drums and decent drum patterns. I don't gig anymore but in my rehearsal room, that is what I use with my Organ. Better than a drum machine.

That should be possible trough midi controll...

This is however exactly the reason that i like the Nord stage so much..
The nord stage has 2 external midi channels directly controllable as if they where internal instruments
One for left, one for right hand on the sd40 c

Archieving this from the sk1 might be much more complicated...
Yet instruments like sk1, Nord stage, roland rd2000
But also Korg Kronos and Yamaha montage
Are perfect for use with an arranger module..

well, that is only available as used parts...
And does not come close to the SD40

Bk7m - 1000.00 new from two sellers on ebay in USA
SD40 - 2000.00 from one seller in Poland

Not PUSHING anything (or putting down other suggestions) but availability IS a factor.

Why a used part, it’s still in production and can be picked up at virtually all music shops that sell keyboards, not forgetting all the online music stores.
