Honest, you DON'T want motorized drawbars. I have them on my Yamaha FX20.
The day I bought my organ (thousands of dollars ago), the salesman specifically told me the motorized adjustors are NOT guaranteed. The motors wear out after constant use. There is a small button below the great keys that I can turn off the motors. I do just that. Most of all mine work fine but there is an organ just like mine on eBay right now (search FX20) and their's mentions some of the motorized drawbars don't work anymore.

They are somewhat improssive when you hit a preset or stop and they all move around to a predetermined setting but unless an observer is looking directly over your shoulder, it's just something to go bad and replace.

Now what I would like to see, is a keyboard that the keys played would light up when their played. Any takers on this? One more thing, I'd want them to be one of three light colors so I can set the melody in blue, rhythm in green, and bass in red (example). Basically it would be a built-in light organ. When the music completely stops, they can all turn a dim white.

Back to the music rack.
