Hey, Stubbsonic! There will be a 4 octaves hammer action? You got me started...stubbsonic wrote:Though I won't have much of a basis for comparison, I will post a review of the new VAX keyboard when it ships next year. I expect the action will be pretty unique, offering some of the weight and throw of a hammer, but with a different key return and action. Oh, and Poly AT.

Re: 88 key controllers
Yeah Billy, and Yamaha features prominently. The SPX90 springs immediately to mind.billf wrote:Some of those 80's products have stood the test of time.monkey man wrote:Oh yeah, Billy.
The DX series was an order of magnitude tougher than my Roland, for sure.
That thing'll outlast even you, bro'.
Stubbsy, I too am curious to see how you go with this thing. Somehow I doubt it'll provide all the flavours and counts of I/O I'm used to, but since I first heard about it my (short-spanned) attention has been mildly aroused... so to speak. Poly AT is definitely a must for me, so at least that one's locked in.

Yes, I had an SPX 90 II. I sold it, but sort of wish I still had it as nothing else can quite capture that sound.monkey man wrote:The SPX90 springs immediately to mind.

Re: 88 key controllers
Exactly.
Hey, if we all had a buck for each of our slap-me-on-the-forehead, why-did-I-sell-it moments, and then we combined all our totals, we'd be a smidgen of the way to being able to go out and blow ten grand in Lost Wages, Nirvana.
Just sayin'.

Re: 88 key controllers
I had two SPX90II units, but one died. I literally threw it out. I wish I'd saved it. It might have been a power supply or something that could be fixed. It had been mangled on the road, so whatever was damaged was probably physically broken.billf wrote:Yes, I had an SPX 90 II.

Now I have one. Not much good for processing two-tracks, but I do almost everything in the box these days, anyway.

Re: 88 key controllers
I sold off a number of SPX units from the production inventory where I used to work. They all required service prior to sale - all but one was easily repaired and back in 100% condition. The problems were all related to aged capacitors.
Lots of stuff and a recently acquired ability to stop buying
