the YPG535 is more of a semi-weighted key bed. Not spring action like most synths but surely not full weighted like an acoustic piano would be. It is somewhere in between.

In terms of midi, Kurzweil is 100 based instead of 127 based. So, they start 100 and higher and the last digit is the name of the bank. But every slot on a Kurzweil is already mapped.
I would...

All Kurzweils typically respond when getting Program Changes from a controller. Are program changes being sent by your Ensoniq?

I would guess that your Kurzweil needs servicing. It probably happened when you plugged it into the 220 line.

I would start with the Kurzweil repair site to see if you can find someone locally...

It is a good choice for the money and the education suite is a great. It is basically a bunch of built in lessons that take you through the steps to learn how to play a specific song.

A good set of PA speakers like the QSC K12's or a good set of studio speakers like the Focal CMS65's will get you an amazing sound. It depends on your application.

Some of the higher end Arranger keyboards do and even offer harmony and such on the mic input. Check out the Yamaha PSRS900

I am in a Pink Floyd tribute band called Pink Droyd (www.pinkdroyd.com) and we practice this exact way. I play a Roland TD20 kit, both guitar players have Line 6 podxt's, the keyboard player has a...

Have you thought about something to spice up your synths on stage ? Something like a Avalon U5 or Radial direct box could do wonders for the sound. What types of sounds do you used most ? What...

If you purchased your Fusion from us then contact your sales engineer and we can do it for a small charge.

A Pattern sequencer is where you order all your patterns together into a whole song. Redrum in Reason would be a good example of something that does this. Basically you have a selection of say drum...

I don't know if I should respond since I am a sales engineer but I guess i will once more.

the sounds as they come are ok. you will hear a difference between these and others mentioned. they...

I think most average listeners would rate the sounds as good. I guess a 5 or a six. The Fusion is probably fine for what your looking at using it for. I do think that the new sounds that...

wow, ok, someone doesn't like the motifes! we get it :)

seriously, we love feedback, and that is what these forums are for but one or two posts about your situation would have been enough. I...

what kind of sounds are you looking for ? what kind of music are you doing ?

do you have an audio interface ? are the drivers for live installed and working? then you just need to plug your keyboard into the audiointerface, assign and record arm in live and away you go! ...

usually yes. it depends on the particular model but most of the time the engine is the same, the patches are the same, and most of the features are similiar.

Akoustic Piano and Ivory are outstanding. I would go as far as to say they are the best acoustic pianos on the market - hardware or software. BFD and DKFHsup are also outstanding. Reaktor from NI...

These are now discontinued but I don't believe that it was because of how it was built. Probably more because of the market in general moving more to soft synths and such. Novation now focuses more...

Have you tried the Clavia stage piano's ? They make a 61, 76 and 88 and are complete controllers. They should do everything your talking about doing.

thank you for posting your findings here Michael! much appreciated!

You probably need some kind of a mixer and then an audio card for your pc (if that's where you plan to burn your cd's). if not, you'll need an external cd burner.

yes, autotune is an RTAS plug-in and can run just fine inside of Pro Tools le or Pro Tools HD. It sounds great and works in real time!

you really like Jordan Rudess, don't you ?
