Thread Name: MIDI melodeons
Subject: RE: MIDI melodeons
I have a Streb on order, due to arrive late summer. Can't wait

Spend a lot of time in hotels with my job so the headphone thing is a definite advantage. The ability for it to switch between D/G, C/F, G/C, A/D, C/C#, C#/D, Dminor/Gminor etc will save having to carry more than one melodeon. The voices available include samples of various real melodeons so, for instance, when I play in my band and want a wet Hohner sound for the dances and a dry sound for song accompanyment its all just a switch away. The other non-melodeon voices let you have real fun. The ability to have differnt keybaord layouts, another switch, means I can have keyboards with accidentals, without accidentals, with Andy Cutting's layout of the half row, with my layout of the half row etc etc (will lead to terminal confusion).

Plus every one I have seen play one has had a big stupid grin in seconds
