Chris McGilton (Chris.McGilton@MCI.com) writes:
The keyboard was designed for Stevie Wonder and became an institution in itself. It is on diplay in the Smithsoninan Institution, Wahsington, D.C.

It can be intimidating to use and requires great study and persistance in getting the very most out of it.

A great instrument choice for churches because it is very close to being a keyboard "music purists" can live with.

Comments About the Sounds:
What can not be said about the synthesizer/sampler that revolutionized an entire industry and was used by so many professionals, colleges, universities, studios and film production facilities?
