I didn't think of that, mostly due to David's
reference to getting a rack unit; but, if there's a
'work around' with regard to the rack piece... The
Prokeys88 sounds are solid...and available at an
excellent price.
And, M -Audio also has Key Rig - if using software
live is an option in this situation. That was another
award winner, as I recall...
