Hi Colin, Thanks for the welcome! I'm sure I'll need some help at some point. At the moment, I'm having a hard time figuring out if I can set sustain for a voice or if this is only available on a sub-voice. I don't own a sustain pedal and I'd like a piano voice to sustain a bit.

Hi there, The monitor with the the metal badge is the proper IIx monitor. the other monitor sounds like it was the later Series III MFX monitor. If I had a picture I could narrow it down. The black keyboard is rare as there was not very many ever made. I read once a long time ago

I have two CMI IIx's but there are differences in them. One has a black keyboard and the monitors have two different fairlight badges one is a metal label and one is similar to a sticker or is painted on. Can someone enlighten me on which of these would be factory? Was there ever
