<div dir="ltr">I really do like my Kronos X (I know you already ruled that out). It's got the most amazing synthesis systems built into it. It's like having an SY77, Wavestation, PolySix, MS20 and Radias built into one machine. Its also a USB host and you can hook your iPad too it and route audio/midi around. Korg gets it.<div><br></div><div>Tony<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: <a href="mailto:andrewtarpinian@gmail.com">andrewtarpinian@gmail.com</a><br>Subject: Re: Yamaha reface<br>Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2015 12:04:09 -0400<br>To: <a href="mailto:music-bar@lists.music-bar.org">music-bar@lists.music-bar.org</a><br><br><div>I really have a hankering for a deep digital synth (plug in software is just so boring to me.) Since the new DX turned out to be fairly basic - though still might get one - what are your guys favorite? I really can't have any more big keyboards, so it's a shame they don't make rack stuff anymore for like the Kronos (what's up with that?) Not necessarily ruling out something out of production but would prefer new, and minimum of keys. Currently was looking at the Blofeld. <br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Jul 8, 2015, at 4:37 PM, Tony Scharf <<a href="mailto:tony.scharf@outlook.com">tony.scharf@outlook.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote><div>

Love that they still focus on the performer but making only one workstation and countless PSR keyboards for forever have rotted their brain. Apparently they have their workers work on their own projects as an exercise, and one group made a midi controller with extra sounds, Reface was born! <br>> <br>> Insane marketing aside, they do sound really good, and the build quality is supposed to be nice. But $500 street... I might get the dx if on sale somewhere, it's the clear winner. <br>> <br>> The CS is based on the An1x tech btw...<br>> <br>> > On Jul 8, 2015, at 6:17 AM, ibi sum <<a href="mailto:ibisum@gmail.com">ibisum@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>> > <br>> > <br>> > They look interesting, but Yamaha should be selling them as a 4-pack for 800squids.<br>> > <br>> > Anyway, good times in the synth world.
