Obie was my only keyboard since I sold the Emax. I had planned to trade the K2600R for a 88-key version, but no-one seemed interested. So I got this one second-hand and pretty cheap. It has rather nice controller abilities, and I have configured the sliders to send the most relevant cc\u2019s to my both my Virus and Pulse for added convenience. I planned to do this for all my synths, but the K2600, which really needs a more immediate interface, is a slight problem, as it does not have a standard set of cc\u2019s for specific parameters, meaning I would have to go through my programs and do a lot of assigning, but I just can\u2019t be bothered. Likewise, I was thinking of standardizing my Modular patches, but that also takes a lot of time. When the NM G2 comes out, it will most likely have a standard way of using cc\u2019s on its factory patches, so I\u2019ll just wait for that one and see what I can and will do. Meanwhile, this is a great keyboard with a good piano touch, and I see no reason to not keep it forever. It weighs a lot, but I don\u2019t gig, so it\u2019s of no concern. It even inspired me to take piano lessons. 30 years too late, but hey\u2026I\u2019ve attended regularly, twice now, one year apart. I\u2019m a bit late from my third lesson\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
