Collector of ancient keyboards
After a way too long time away from my keys, I'm getting back up to playing. I'm looking for suggestions about a live setup. Please let me know your thoughts about the following setup.
Three keyboard setup, using the B&K Spider Pro.
Bottom (and primary) keyboard and sound generator: Korg Kronos 88
Middle keyboard: Yamaha SY-99, both as a controller of the Kronos and a secondary sound generator
Top keyboard controller: Roland A-800 Pro (I'm not sure that I have any other old keyboards that are worth restoring other than the SY-99. So I'd be using the Roland to drive additional sounds.)
One factor is how good the piano sound is, which is one reason for the Kronos. Additionally, it seems to provide a wide variety of sounds. The overall plan is for a flexible system.
