Hi Bernie,

 

That is a common feature with MIDI instruments and makes much more sense than building two keyboards side by side

in the same cabinet.  IMHO

 

Cheers,

 

Gary

Hi all-

   Wishing can be dangerous in these digital times.  The Memotron rack-mount is advertised as being configurable as 2 keyboards side-by-side, using an single large MIDI keyboard. It kinda captured my interest.

Obviously the original ~had~ to be built that way (mechanical logistics) but why you would want to connect 2 manuals

side by side in ~modern~ times is beyond me…..

That would be kinda like putting a Ferrari engine in a Ford Cortina with all of the original Cortina Instruments and controls. That would be something, wouldn't it?

I personally would love a dual manual M4000D (Markus' digital unit) in a replica MKII wooden cabinet with authentic controls, an accessible hard drive with the entire library, and digital reverb/efx with some nice JBL speakers in the cabinet:)
