The best compromise is the 76 AfterTouch Keys, less hard to use the aftertouch than the 88Keys, but have place to fun with this size.(Best for speed solos).

Why not just the 6. Less heavy and also smaller footprint.

Like your video - Thank you. I pick the 88ex board. I play a KAWAI MP11 which has the absolute best piano action you can get. However it lacks music production so replacing it with the F8 which has very good piano action not as goos as the KAWAI but better than the Montage 8. The drawback compared to the Yamaha is does lack aftertouch response which I do not use much. I have played the 61 and 76 and was a little disappointed with the new bed Roland came out with. I am comparing it to my Jupiter 80 which is above my 88ex. The JP80 has some of the best key feel that Roland has produced. Anyone that has played the 80 knows what I am talking about. Not saying the Fantom 61 keys are not good but wish it had the feel of the JP80. Any of the Fantom keyboards yo really can’t go wrong. Love it!

The fantom does have aftertouch. Just requires a lot of pressure. Why didn't you pick the 6 and then just midi it to your Kawai?

If you can keep them both. The 61 for rehearsals/"small" events and the 88 for the larger events. I use Kronos this way.

Thanks for watching and replying. Was it hard for you to justify having the exact same board twice? For what it's worth , I have a Kronos 88 and 73. I just recently got the 73 (there is a video on my channel detailing the story behind it). But it leaves the studio now and the 88 never does.

@@JuliusDeBerryJr I prefer to play with 88 weighted keys and besides that I also do some backline work and added a third Kronos (88). So “comfort” and backline were my reasons, worth it in my case, so far so good (space is something to consider indeed). Greetings from Santo Domingo 🇩🇴

Hey there, Julius! I go straight for 76. I don't know what's wrong with me😂

I had a Roland Fantom G7. Great board. Feel like if you don't need weights, the 6 is the best spot. But some folks need that extra octave of keys.... So 🤷🏾‍♂️. Yeah!

Hi Julius, am following your videos regarding Montage M, Fantom and Kronos for a while and am a bit confused what to do. Right now I have a Montage 7 (not M) , a Hammond XK5, a Hydrasysnth Keys, a Kawai VPC-1, a NI Komplete MK3 and a Novation SL 61 MK3. The issue is, I have 3 Masterkeyboards and though I have a MIO XL, wo proper configuration and channel routing they simply have no sound. Though with Keyscape I have the best Rhodes and Pianos, with IK Multimedia B3X the best organs and with lots of VSTs really cool sounds .. But the moment I get creative things have to go fast .. All Keyboards on, Cubase in record mode (which seldom works as audio Channels are not working sometimes after start) too bad. Then with Montage, XK5 and Hydrasynth I have it all to be creative to some Drumloops or whatever Band in the Box .. however .. The VPC-1 has such great keys, but its almost always switched off .. too bad. So as I already bought some great sounds for the Montage my plan is the following: 1. Buy a Montage M8X (as I really like Poly AT) 2. Buy a Fantom 6 or 7 which can really do the organ part and more (I really dislike the Montage Organs - they seem so static) 3. Stay with the ASM and get more sound sets - as this cannot be replaced with Fantom or Montage M 4. Sell Montage 7, VPC, XK5 and Novation 5. Do Studio work with VSTs with the NI Kontrol MK3 6. If needed go live with the Fantom as its lightweight But now my question is: 1. Should I stay with the Montage 7 and maybe someday upgrade to a PolyAT M7X if it ever comes as I know how to use it 2. Or should I buy a Fantom 6/7 and upgrade it to EX, thought I have the Roland Cloud subscription I have lots of the Roland Sounds already? I can still use VSTs in a live setup but what I really dislike is the Channel AT and even a bad one .. 3. or vice versa, stay with the Montage for a while until they maybe offer a M7X and buy a Fantom 8 Hope you or anyone is willing to give his/her 2 cats regarding this. thx in forward..

Do you know if the Korg Nautilus also transmits on multiple midi channels at once? Or is it similar to how the Fantom works?

It can table on multiple at once. So can the faction though I believe.

@hermandavid1757 oh ok. I'm not sure I'll check. I don't remember seeing an option for that. I doubt it though.
