Subject: RE: [AN1x] (OT)Yamaha mini-keyboard controllers -- Future of XG?

From: "Paul H. Richards" <PolHarris@...>

I have the CBX-K2 (without the built-in sounds). It's great since you can
assign the wheel and slider to any number of controllers and can
independently send out loads of XG commands based on key combinations. I
think it was discontinued shortly after it was introduced. I was lucky to
grab a demo model.

That brings up an interesting question I'd like to poll this group on since
it is probably the most active Yamaha-based group I'm aware of (especially
Gary as the inside guy). What's up with XG these days from Yamaha's
standpoint? It seems like a lot of the momentum has died out. MU series
seems dead (everywhere but Japan), forums have closed. I am still wonderring
if XGWorks (which I use almost every day) will make it past V3.0. Can we
expect that XG will slowly fade away or will it come back in and out again
as a Yamaha-evangelized spec?

Apologises for this OT question,

Does anyone know (or want to sell), what the cat. no. of Yamaha's mini-midi
keyboard controllers?- I know that there was one with a built in XG sound
generator and one without. Have they been discontinued? I want one!

Cheers!

Tom
