I can highly recommend the Vintage Keys keyboard version that I have
had for a few months now.The tron sounds are pretty good and in a
live situation sound ALMOST as good as the real thing(and also sounds
near to my E4K with the Pinder CD Rom). They seem to be rare for some
reason...EMU doesn't seem to be promoting them.(the keyboard that is)
Of course the rack mount should sound the same. The keyboard has some
nice assignable knobs and it's great to set up tron split layouts.It
has the violins,flute,choirs,and brass.
