RE: [CZsynth] Buying a 2nd keyboard... your opinion

2004-06-29 by Ken Luke

I second this. I only have two actual keyboards, and a bunch of modules 
(VZ10 being one of 'em). The ergonomics can be a little bit better as you 
can (for example) have the keyboard right in front of you and then a rack 
(or two) on either side within reach. Another plus is if your life 
situation is such that you're moving your place of residence often, it's 
much easier (and better for the gear) to just bundle up the rack instead of 
having to box several keyboards.

Plus a rack full of gear looks really cool in the dark, that warm "Mission 
Control" feeling ;-)
