good luck...

I gave a multi-moog away many years ago because one of the oscilator circuits blew up and I couldn't get hold of the components :(

and from other soiuces:

"An ELECTRONIC piano produces its sound exclusively with electronic circuits - the keys are just switches, like on an organ or a synth. Most of these instruments were designed to simulate the sound of an acoustic piano, and very few actually succeeded. Unlike most electric pianos, they didn't even have a musically interesting sound in their own right. They just sounded like a weedy imitation of a piano. There are notable exceptions, such as Yamaha's CP-20, 25, 30 and 35 and the RMI pianos and harpsichords, which did have their own character. Mind you, they cost as much as a Rhodes anyway!"

"Despite their names, these were in no way related to Yamaha's classic CP-70 electric grand and its successors. However, they WERE better-than-average electronic pianos, if you wanted something that didn't sound like an electric or an acoustic. All featured selectable waveforms and adjustable decay for a wide range of possible sounds. The CP-30 and CP-35 also featured tuneable independent dual output channels. The CP-25 and CP-35 were later models with extra waveforms and effects. The CP range were among the first electronic pianos to feature weighted touch-sensitive keyboards. Good but VERY heavy. Used by Elton John, Christine McVie, Dr John and others."
 
Since I'm new to this whole outboard keys business...

Is it normal to directly inject the signal for recording? Is it the same as guitar and bass, in that it is normal practice to mic an amp?

Also.. There has been some discussion about keyboard amps around the board...

The threads I've read are for playing live... Is there a keyboard amp that is scaled down for recording, yet of high quality? I realize that a guitar amp would be a simple choice, but I'm not happy with the sound of my keys through the guitar amp I own....

Thoughts??? PLEASE :)
