| RE KR33
I actually saw one of these the other day and remembered someone asking
about them.
It is a consumer-oriented keyboard using (I believe) Roland's Structured
Adaptive Synthesis. Or it may be some form of sampling as I do seem to remember
it having some other sounds (organ? Choir?). It houses on-board
speakers/amplification.
Anyway, it sounded o.k.. Better than the consumer keyboards you'd find
at Lechemere's, but not as good as a pro keyboard. I would venture to guess
that it supports a fairly minimal MIDI implementation and would serve as a
entry-level MIDI controller. I didn't catch the price.
Unless it was priced fairly aggressively (under $1000 list), I'd
probably not recommend it to anyone. If its all one could afford for someone
who absolutely NEEDED a piano sound/feel, it'd probably do o.k.. But for some
one building a MIDI system, they could probably do better.
