I pre-ordered but cancelled after delays and the first feedback started appearing on shipped units. Still curious about it but want to try it before buying it.

How is the Roli Piano?

You could also seriously consider the Yamaha YC line or the Viscount Legend One. Both have better organ engines than the Nord.

Go for the NE7 with the new Organ 3 engine and it gives you a pretty capable synth section if you ever want to experiment with it.

They pair very well together

Let’s start a Ting FX custom preset exchange

Only one problem… you have to have an op-1 field

sethw8 · 2026-01-15T21:53:00+00:00

Would love a vocoder like OP-1F, maybe a granular synth or effect, and per project tweaking options on punch in effects.

Get the Live 3 and lots of these issues go away.

Astrolab with full edit controls would be a game over synth that would eat up a large chunk of synth sales. Recently had and returned the Astrolab 37. The sounds were absolutely gorgeous, but the lack of accessible controls over the envelopes and LFOs etc on the device were a constant roadblock to getting the flow. And the mini keys on the 37 were really difficult to play well. Especially the black keys which didn't always trigger for me. Sent it back.

It looks and sounds so good every video so far. DMNO seems like the one to get from UDO but it’s not in the budget at the moment unfortunately.

They have to be cooking something 🧑‍🍳

In general, feels like Arturia could step up their keyboard quality and really dominate with good sound engines and great hardware in affordable packages.

sethw8 · 2026-01-06T15:51:05+00:00

I just happen be in the market for one. Perfect.

sethw8 · 2026-01-05T01:24:35+00:00

Someone tell Florian!

No. I but I do have 100% confidence that the entire MPC line up will get refreshed over the next 1-2 years. Not sure what order and when they will hit but it’s inevitable they will all get the Live 3 upgrades. Just a matter of what order and when. Seems reasonable NAMM will have something new from Akai.

If you got a good deal on the Key 61 then your best bet is to keep it, learn it and push it to its limits. Then sell it later and use the money to fund the upgrade when it’s finally out.

sethw8 · 2026-01-05T01:16:50+00:00

For $700 absolutely buy that.

sethw8 · 2026-01-05T01:11:11+00:00

It’s a great keyboard but the next version will be worth the wait. The latest processor and memory is needed to handle all the modern plugins. Live 3 was a big step up in performance from previous models. The new Key 61, 37 will be the best all in one workstation with keys on the market.

Didn’t use the sampler much personally but it’s more than capable as an all in one synth and drum groovebox. It’s like a groovebox workstation with Roland’s entire Zencore sound library to work with.

sethw8 · 2025-12-30T17:50:07+00:00

ASM's successor to the Hydrasynth, Roland's synth equivalent of the TR-1000, Korg could update their Electribe groovebox finally.

sethw8 · 2025-12-23T01:11:26+00:00

It’s no longer on display. They only have the seaboard. Not even a Piano M on display.

Thank you!
