I would like maybe one good organ sound but I'm no snob when it comes to those. I do like the price on the MM6 considering all it is capable of. I wish I could just get a synth that was way cheaper with WAY less options. I would be fine with a good wurli sound and a good organ sound and no other sounds and no drum beats. It looks like the MM6 has semi weighted keys is that right? I have a year 2000 larger (radio shack version) casio. I can't remember the model . It was $300 back then. I like one of the organ sounds and it has a cool sawtooth wave sound. That's about all I like it for. It's light too. But the keys aren't weighted.
Paul,
I never got up close and personal with the Mini Mo, as the MM6 has affectionately come to be known by its advocates, but I believe it's keys are standard plastic non weighted. Weighted keys would push the price up considerably. I suspect that if you invested in one, its many other aspects would soon become evident, and you would be incorporating its many features into your act before very long. As I pointed out before, your creative adaptation to looping shows your ability to utilize new tecnology, so its probable that, with a powerful live performance synthesizer with stuff in it like an arpeggiator, you'd keep your act interesting. Don't go backwards, use the new tools. I use chisels and various other primitive tools in my house constructing endeavors, but I have come to appreciate new advances like LASER's , air powered tools, and compound mitre saws.Same is true in music, unless your a purest, and I suspect that that aint you! You deserve tools with which you can expand your craft.
anyways,
good luck with the gig!
John
