"Fear Monger"... that's me...

Craig is right... The VR09 is not for everybody... 

And it is selling well... like cheap tires and Big Macs....

(love teasing my friend, Craig)

Dave we've been told that the update is coming, so from my perspective its "in sight"..

Gene, seriously I would NOT consider a Numa if you plan to use it as a midi controller for
Your Konos.. Its a great single manual clone, but it has some problems, for example you cannot configure the mod wheel to stop changing Leslie speeds when playing the numa organ and a remote synth, a similar issue exists with the damper/sustain pedal. If its plugged in its going to change Leslie speed whenever you depress it for sustain on your Kronos acoustic piano.. The numa also has no other sounds and its not particularly lightweight, which I believe is the goal here!

Clearly there are one VR-09 haters on the list, along with HammondDave, the fear monger. Try the VR-09 yourself and make up your own mind.. I think I've provided you with the info and unbiased pros and cons that should help you make your decision. Most people on this forum seem to either love it or hate it, but I understand that it's selling very well, probably for all the reasons I've articulated.

Good luck!

Craig
