Subject:Hamichord controller

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of getting a Hamichord M-C3 as my main/only keyboard (no space for more!). Although I will mostly use it to drive VB3, I would also like to be able to play electric/acoustic piano plugins.

I'd like to know if it's possible, when using the M-C3 as a MIDI controller, to use the black preset keys as "normal" keys and effectively gain an extra octave, which would be a bonus for piano.

Also could anyone describe the keyboard action? I've got an electro 3 at the moment so comparisons would be welcome.

Thanks for your help!
