DNJ...Playing Your New EA-7?...Harold

Harold really not new as it is my 3rd EA7.
what are you concerns?..I'd be glad to answer them.

Have you made peace with it? Hope so; it's a nice board.

Don you know my feelings ....I've told you on the phone..
& to answer your question...
Yes, I'm happy with my 3rd Roland EA7..

Thank You DNJ...No concerns at all...Just trying to learn about all arrangers I may like to own. I'm without one now...would Love to own a Genos may have to wait for sometime in the future. Trying to think if the 900X would work for now...If it had 76 keys I would jump on it ...I like piano work...Enjoy your EA-7 Sincerely Harold

If I stare cross-eyed at my SX900 for a minute, it has 76 keys. This didn't happen with my previous Yamahas. It must be a new feature.

Hi Harold,
Have a 73 note p121 connected to my sx900. My set up is for home use, though.
At the moment use my laptop as an interface between sx and p121 ( p121 doesn’t have midi sockets only midi via USB)
Works really well for me.

I can play just piano.

I can play just using the sx900 keys .

I can play using p121 as controller. Mainly use this setup when I’m playing piano for melody. For this setup, I use registrations and a pedal to take me thru the variations for a song. Basically don’t need to touch keyboard except to pick next song.
I don’t like stacked keyboard configuration , so my setup is L shape, that’s where the pedal and registrations come into their own.
I have monitor speakers so that the sound of sx is coming from the front ( behind piano, not from sx which is at the side.

In hindsight ,Genos wouldn’t have worked for me anyway, I like fully weighted keys for piano.

Thank You Rikki...My problem is artritis in My Fingers and Hands. I agree the Hammer action on the Stage Piano is Best for sure to get the best Piano results. I have a New Casio PX-S1000 88 Key I take for others to use a Music Events. I could do as You Maybe combine the two. I would Not be playing full Piano at long periods of time I guess maybe 10%. I could also set the touch to light. I do like Good Styles while playing. A lot of thinking to do! I'm 71 and I know I have to adapt to change...Thank You again I may Have questions in the future. Sincerely Harold

LOL.... I know the feeling.

Hi Harold,
I had it back to front. Somewhere in the back of my mind , I thought you liked the heavy weighted keys, possibly because you mentioned having a piano on an earlier post.
Genos, possibly be a good option for you in that case.
