Hi freaks ;)

I'm really in love with my Triton Pro, my only synth at the moment. The problem is, I'm playing in a band and have to carry it to the band studio and back everytime we practise.
Now, I'm thinking about replacing the Triton Pro by a Triton Rack and buying a 76 Key Midi Controller wich I'd have in the band studio. At home, I could control the rack with a stage piano. So the only thing I would have to carry around would be the rack.
Long story, short question ;) :
Any recommendations for a good 76 Semi-Weighted (Triton Pro Style) Key Controller? A joystick is very important for me. The controller doesn't have to have ( :?: :D ) internal sounds.

Thanks & greets
Timo

Roland A70 is out of production, maybe available at E-bay still. Roland A-37 (which does not quite match the former's quality) might be the only option for you.

Hi all!

Thanks for the replies, guys.
I tested some master keyboards in the last days, also a Roland A-XX (don't remember wich one) and was quite disappointed, so I decided to stay with my lovely triton (with ribbon and joystick). I'm sorry to disappoint you, Martin ;). And yes, I had a Kurzweil K2500s before I got my Triton Pro!

Btw. Thanks for the comments about the homepage!

Steer clear of the SL760, its not good, the action is great but the one I bought crapped out on the power switch after two weeks !!! and its fairly heavy. I'd go for the A37, its light, good action, Joystick lever and has fairly good midi control facilities, and Jens Johansson plays one at home (according to the pics on his website !!) so can't be bad.
