Hi Jack,
if you don't know, don't write.
The KeyB Duo MkIII and KeyB Exp can be updated by USB and Midi by Pc.
Many times you write not correct informations about Mojo competitors so
I please you to write when you are sure because when you write, all the
world read and bad informations gives different valutations on the products.
Sorry to everybody for this post but I'm tired to read informations not
corrects.

>> I don't have a 4D, but I did have the C2D OS installed in my C2 before I sold it.. I mentioned this in another post, but there is a lot to like about the new C2D OS (which I believe is in the 4D)... much better leslie sim, better/warmer more realistic Overdrive, less compressed sounding overall.. it's great.. The only things I didn't see as an improvement were the new percussion which sounded less "woody" and more bell-like, along with the new gain structure on the overdrive (the previous OD had a much higher gain as you increased the effect, which I liked, personally). That said I didn't have much time with it, before I sold it to pay for my Mojo, perhaps I could have EQ'd it to better suit my tastes..

>> The thing is that with the 4D you'll have a significantly better sounding organ, AND you probably won't deam the Ventilator to be necessary anymore, and of course you can toss the Ocean Beach drawbars (unless you decide to use them as a second set of drawbars).. So your rig is going to sound better, without a doubt, AND you're going to have much less stuff to set up.. less devices, chords, etc.. and less to go wrong.

>> I do look forward to hearing a first hand review of the 4D from someone on the list..!!??!!
