I got myself a RM1X unit, just last weekend. It will thin out Controller data
for, a' la QY70, and is a lot cheaper than the QY700.
The only downside is that it doesn't have auto-accompaniement. As there is no
way of entering chords in directly (eg. C7,Am7 etc.) So it is more suited to
techno/dance rather than melodic compositions.
So far I'm very pleased with it
