Hi All,
The Yamaha KX88 keyboard is a pretty old unit now (I think the original release date for these keyboards was 1980?). However, looking at reviews it seems that this keyboard is still pretty popular and sells well as a used keyboard.
My question is with respect to how people would implement this type of keyboard in their set ups. I understand that it doesn't actually have audio inputs and outputs as it is a midi master controller. I assume because of this, a tone generator is needed (whether a second keyboard with a tone generator or a rack mounted tone generator etc) for sounds to be produced and controlled by the keyboard? I see that Christine Mcvee used one in her set up with Fleetwood Mac ( I can't remember if it is on the "Tango In The Night" DVD or the "Dance" DVD). She also uses it a lot on her new album. There must be something pretty good about this keyboard if it is still in demand?
Any ideas on how this unit would be typically used in a set up is appreciated.
Thanks.
Allan
