In response to various articles I have just read relating to MIDI, synthesizers, and keyboards: 1) I am very interested in MIDI instruments and devices, and am in the process of home brewing a couple MIDI devices. Any contact with other MIDI enthusiasts is welcome. 2) I just recently joined the International MIDI Society (users group). I think its a very worthwhile organization. Membership to this group usually costs $40 a year. I think that they've reduced membership rates to $25 through March. By joining this group, you will automatically receive the current MIDI spec. 3) Relating to guitar synthesizers, I believe Roland is coming out with a MIDI guitar. 4) Yamaha electric grand info: A good place to buy one in the Chicago area is DJs in Cicero. Approx. cost $3200 for a CP-70B, $3800 for a CP-80. The total weights are 286 lbs and 313 lbs, resp. The instrument does come apart in two sections, though. The individual sections weigh between 136 and 167 lbs. 5) How about more MIDI/synthesizer/keyboard articles on the net? George Shutack ..!ihnp4!iwslc!grs
