Ensoniq Guy,

     I am not familiar with the models you mentioned.  I think I did one project back in the 
90s on the second one.   I do have an Ensoniq ASR-10 keyboard and overall I have really 
liked it.  It only has 61 keys, though an 88 key model was made, pretty rare I think.

     Getting service for an Ensoniq can be a little challanging.  I believe they were bought by 
Emu .... and who knows if they still exist!  I'd google search to try to make sure you have 
tech/mech support in your area.

     Maybe you can follow an eBay auction,  (use the my eBay function) and after the auction 
you can e-mail the seller and ask them what they REALLY thought of the keyboard?  If you 
ask them before the auction is over they may not respond completely how you'd want.

     Another consideration is to go the keyboard controller route.  He obviously could 
control his Roland or a laptop with Logic (or others).   I think some of the newer, larger 
keyboard MIDI controllers go for about $400.  I usually test drive at Guitar Center then buy 
from sweetwater (no tax, free shipping).  

     Good luck!

        Pete

guitar player but he wants to expand his business and at the moment he uses a Roland 
U20 but he's restricted to 61 keys and a very light keyboard which I think is great for some 
things but not for piano. I have found that Ensoniq keyboards are sold second hand for a 
lot less than the competition and I think that's mainly because they never really did as well 
commercially as critically. What I would like to ask is how good/bad are KT76 and KS32 
and how old are they. I checked Harmonycentral and they love them but compared to 
what.
