This is getting very OT so I haved it there. J.I wrote: For the Rhodes, it was the weight. And the tuning along with all the other little mechanical quirks, I was there I remember it very well. Anyway you are right that by the time the programable keyboards came out, Juno 60, Polysix and the DX7 a little later, the reason to carry those monsters around got less neccesary. It's funny that the DX7 Rhodes was such a big deal back then, it doesn't sound much like a Rhodes at all. It's much more airy and completely without any body. Another sound from the DX that went on everybodys records at the time was the harmonica ie What's Love Got To Do With It. Much like the Rhodes (and the Cher effect) it got out of hand and suddenly disappeared. To this day I hate those sounds but then again, I never liked the 80s much, 3-4 chords broken into 16th arpeggios and a whole lot of make up (and now they're back). PS I know that the Jupiter 4 and 8 was before the above mentioned but they were very expensive and never got very common (which is why they are quite rare and even more expensive today).
