Thanks for the info Tom.
If you get a chance to give the organ patches a good workout, let us know what you think of them as well.

I've had a couple of hours to mess with this thing, and I've got to
say ... DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR this is one of the coolest pieces of
equipment I've ever bought. Given that one of my goals for the year
is to downsize my rig as much as possible without downsizing my
sound, this thing is instrumental in helping me achieve this goal.

I don't think I oould find a better unit to use in conjunction with
my Nord Stage. The strings are some of the best I've heard in any
price range, the horns are excellent, as are many of the orchestral
sounds. The Grand Piano sound is good, but it is very bright (almost
thin sounding), but for using it to enhance the piano in my Stage,
it's perfect. There are only a couple of Rhodes style pianos, one I
thought was surprisingly good. I think there's only one Clavinet, but
it was not bad at all. I can't give you much of analysis of the organ
sounds, but after just a cursory glance, there may be some potential
there. They were certainly better than the awful organs in my S90ES.

All in all, if you already have a studio full of the best soft synth
products, or if you have a truck full of high dollar keyboards, and
don't mind hauling them around, you don't need, nor would you
probably like this module very much. But if you're looking to add
some excellent orchestral sounds in a super small package without
spending much money, this thing is definately worth taking a look at.

Disclaimer: I have no involvement with, am an endorser for, or even
own stock in Ketron company.
