Subject:RE: Looking for Piano Sound Module

I'm in a similar situation. I want to be able to use the XK-1 to control
some piano sounds as well. (I'm afraid that the "additional sounds" don't
work that well for me)The two candidates that I'm researching at the moment
are the Kurzweil ME-1 and the Roland XV-2020. The Roland costs
substantially more but has editing software that you can use to reconfigure
& save sounds in the module's User's Bank. The Kurzy doesn't seem to be
programmable. Also the Roland is expandable by adding up to two SRX boards.
I've listened to some of their sounds and I found that they are really good.
Even though the Hammond's key bed is waterfall and not really a hammer
action, I find that it works surprisingly well triggering piano sounds (as
opposed to my Yammy ES6 with the synth action).

Good luck with your search Dave, and please share your own findings with us.

Peter

Subject: [CWSG] Looking for Piano Sound Module

I am presently changing over my live rig to a Pro XK System. I am
considering using a sound module for acoustic and electric pianos that I can
control from the bottom keyboard of the XK3. I would like it to be a single
space rack module. I know that Roland had a decent one out a few years ago.
Any suggestions?
