One good reason I want to do this is with a lower kbd I get a much larger area for Left sounds and chords...plus I can use the right of split on the lower for right 3 if I want...a very cool setup. OR I can use right of split on lower to play a sound module.


I am seriously looking at the SKX and Ketron SD90 combo..
could be a perfect fit...

Too bad Hammond never did adapt the overhanging and slightly tilted down upper. I had it on my Thomas and Yamaha's and it was great...especially when bridging upper to lower...they were REAL close.

Donny, If you get that combo you will be back in the 60's with a organ and a SIDEMAN, remember those??? That was before styles!

I would not want to have to use the SD90 itself, but have a MIDI controller with lots of sliders, switches knobs etc on the controller....then, look at all the setup work...
As they say in the NE...forget about it!

I don't think the Hammond would make a good controller kbd at all.

Playing without styles for 25 years
was a "GLORIOUS TIME ON STAGE"
Less Tech and MORE creative Playing loved every minute of it.
oh yes how I remember "sigh".....

Lee, I am confused to your direction your going in...
can you elaborate more in detail on what it is you are trying to accomplish musically playing keyboard?

Donny...pretty much standard arranger playing the songs I like....would like 76 key so have more room on the left, but instead I am going to use lower kbd, after all I used to play organ....The SX-900 really is excellent.

What’s your budget? It can be hit and miss with a few brands. M-Audio is very popular, but depending on the model there are some issues to look out for. Another member mentioned the Samson Carbon, but I would honestly advise to not buy this model. So many reported problems with it regarding build and reliability. I personally know two people that purchase them, and both ended up failing.
