Anyone want to buy a set?
'Cause, they're up on ebay right now...for, like, $200.
Roland PK5s
What the heck? Someone's giving them away for two hundred bucks? I love this economy! Of course, buying them would be redundant for me as I eagerly await my Taurus III's.

I'm keeping my PK-5s, and will MIDI them to my T-3s - that way I'll have a set of pedals at the front of the stage by my mic stand, and another on the side of the stage beneath my keyboards (my main instrument is the bass guitar). I may even set them over by my guitar player & let him start having some fun with them. It makes sense to grab a set of PK-5s & a used analog modeling synth if you can get 'em cheap - that way you'll always have a back-up, and you won't have to haul your T-3s back & forth from the rehearsal space two or three times a week.
I thought they were going to be 1.5 octaves?HB3 wrote:That's heavy. It's also a solution for the people wanting a 1.5 octave board. Just link it w/ some PK5s, man....so that's it, the T3s have to be 1 octave now.

Awesome idea! Great way for someone on the road to get a Taurus function and sound without the weight!superd2112 wrote:I'm keeping my PK-5s, and will MIDI them to my T-3s - that way I'll have a set of pedals at the front of the stage by my mic stand, and another on the side of the stage beneath my keyboards (my main instrument is the bass guitar).

I can't find where it says 1 octave on the Moog website. I'll take your word for it. I wonder if you'll have the octave up/down feature like on the LP? If so, 1 octave will be enough for me. Hopefully you'll have your PK-5's sold by the time I get my Taurus III.

I was joking as well. The .5 octave T3 accessory would be a good option, too, though!HB3 wrote:It's a joke, man. There's no need for a 1.5 keyboard when they can create the base unit with one octave and then sell the fabulous .5 octave Moog T3 accessory!

What Keys???
Hey I was just reading your reply and was wondering what keyboard/ synthesizer do you use with your PK-5's to get a T-1 sound?superd2112 wrote:I'm keeping my PK-5s, and will MIDI them to my T-3s - that way I'll have a set of pedals at the front of the stage by my mic stand, and another on the side of the stage beneath my keyboards (my main instrument is the bass guitar).
