Subject:Re: agonizing over upgrading my vk7

Damon,
I'm not sure I'd agree with Tony that the VK-8M is the way for you
to go. You mentioned that editing is a problem for you on the VK-7.
Although I think the VK-8M sounds quite a bit better than the VK-7,
editing it is even more difficult. And it only does organ, which is
one of the reasons you eliminated the CX-3.

HOWEVER, if you can get some initial assistance in setting it up, it
might work for you in combination with a good synth that serves as a
controller.

As I've noted here earlier, I have a VK-8M, as well as a CX-3 ver. 1
and a BX-3, that I use for small stage situations where there's no
room for either of the Korgs. Although I prefer the sound of the
Korgs, the VK-8M is a very capable fill-in.

I control my VK-8M from a Roland Fantom. To me, this is a much
better alternative than a VR-760. A VK-8M and a used Fantom would
probably cost the same as, or maybe even less than, a VR-760.
Although the Fantom doesn't have waterfall keys, it has a much
larger palette of synth sounds than the VR, it allows you to use two
of Roland's SRX expansion boards as well as one of their earlier
ones, and using it to control a VK-8M gives you separate outputs for
the synths and the organ, which the VR-760 doesn't have.
