You're right ,Laurie, but at least the roadies will be thankful for not moving a synthsizer weighing 220 lbs ( same thing for Hammond compared to a, say B4) !

I disagree...I believe it was the introduction of midi which transformed
the magic of performance, individualism, imagination and spontaneity
which veered companies away from manufacturing top of the line monsters
like the CS 80 down the road to multiconsumer convenience, sameness,
larger profit margins etc.....dont get me wrong, some times paying 300
bucks for a program CD like the CS80v...pays out in the end in
recapturing some of what once was, but what makes me stand apart is the
CS80 and what I know I can achieve in real time with the real time
expression and real time imagination.......
