experiment with their Electros controlling other piano modules? What
was your reaction?

I midi out preset 1 in Organ mode into an unused channel on my Roland
arranger set to Piano 1 or 2 - arranger's midi menu turns it on/off.
It plays much like a Roland piano, very nice, with the bonus of being
able to 'pull' lower drawbers into the mix. Using a Sound Canvas, I
midi in with 15 of its channels muted and no patch change allowed on
channel 2 which is set to Piano 1 or 2. With Electro preset 1 in
organ mode (Upper) I change midi channel on the fly to get the SC
piano, same bonus with the drawbars. This is pretty cool, can be
done with an old SC for $100 or so off eBay. Also, if there's an
Electro acoustic piano you almost like, use Piano mode and blend your
midi piano with it. That's what I'm doing, 'til Nord gets their head
out of... the sand. Wj
