Hello everyone,

Until last week I was considering to buy an EM2000, but after the guy in the shop showed me the new VA-7, it sounded rather impressive to me. I still have a few questions, though, and I would appreciate any help I can get:

1. Is the VA-7 indeed so superior to the EM2000?

2. Suppose I want to play along with a piano that isn't exactly tuned right, is it possible to tune the VA-7 or the EM2000 to the instrument instead?

3. I would like to use the keyboard as an accompaniment tool when playing the clarinet. Is it possible to record the clarinet through the microphone input, together with the midi accompaniment file?

4. The possibilities for hooking up to a computer seem rather limited as compared to e.g. Yamaha. Can .wav files only be input with the ZIP drive, or also directly from a computer?

5. If I input a song through the audio input channels, can it be recorded by the VA-7 or EM2000?

6. Is it possible to plug in a microphone to the EM2000, and make recordings with that?

7. Is there a drawbar organ on these instruments?

8. Is it possible to store MIDI computer files on the ZIP drive?

I know I have a lot of questions, and I would appreciate any help I can get!

Best regards,
Gert

Hi,
Here are some aswers to your questions:

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Not in the Keyboard. When hooked to a PC this can be done.
4) Thru ZIP-drive or also thru the Variphrase-line-in jack
5) No
6) In the same way as in question 3
7) No
8) Standart Midi files (songs): Yes

I Hope this helps...
Luc J.
