Yamaha reface

[Andrew Tarpinian]

Yea I wish they had a rack of that, that used to be the norm but I guess people don't buy them anymore. My guess is computers killed that market. 

If you guys didn't know Korg beat Yamaha on the Reface stuff a while ago:

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.

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.

I guess so long as they keep selling Motif's they don't need to be innovative.  Right now, everyone is doing FM better than Yamaha is (the FM in my Kronos is beyond awesome).

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!
