VR-730 : Great gigging keyboard

I play keyboards in a bluesrock combo. Mostly organ, piano, wurly, strings and a bit of synth. My setup consists of both Hammond XK1-c and Roland VR-730 and KC990. On small stages where I can only take 1 keyboard, I take the Roland VR-730. It sounds great, it feels great (marvellous keybed), seems solid enough, puts all the controls that you need during a gig right under your fingers and is easy to carry (around 10kg). It is also a great keyboard to practice at home: I select a rhythm, tap the tempo and play.

Pros

Quality of sounds

Easy layering & splitting

Easy gig-oriented interface

Keybed great for organ but also very good compromise for piano & synth

Weight

Cons

Seems to work only with EV 5 expression pedal (I want to use my FC-7 but it seems to need an adaptor to reverse polarity)
