Upon searching for a distributor, it doesn't appear that you can buy this in the US.

Anyway, I still need suggestions because I can't get this in the US. So the thread is still open.

They appear to be just pianos. I need something with orchestral and synth sounds.Reefius wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 10:03 pm Check out the Yamaha Clavinova's:

They're a lot more than just pianos. For example: this one has over 1300 sounds:

Yes. That'll work. And they're sold in NJ not far from me. And they're less money. Not quite as versatile as the ELS-02 (dual keyboard) but it should get the job done.Reefius wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 10:19 pm They're a lot more than just pianos. For example: this one has over 1300 sounds:

Okay, got some info today from Sam Ash that changes things a lot. Long story short, there are pieces of hardware that lock that contain keyboards so that people can't walk off with them. So they're almost like having a console.
So, that being said, what workstation like synth do you hardware guys recommend? It has to be something that can cover just about anything and also be fully programmable. Omnisphere in a box.
Fire away!

I think any of the available high-end workstations will do. The best thing you can do is go to a shop where they have them on display so you can try for yourself.

Do most workstations have the ability to split the keyboard at middle C? This is a must for playing dual parts such as brass in bass and strings in treble.

I just checked the manual for the Yamaha Genos and it says the keyboard can be split in four parts.

It would be strange if such a basic feature isn't available on a high-end workstation, but that's just my opinion so I could be wrong. I think you can find manuals online for most if not all different brands of workstations.
Any decent store should have a product specialist who can give you a demonstration of the capabilities of each workstation they have. It is after all a professional and expensive product you're shopping for, not some $100 toy keyboard, so I think they will be happy to help you decide.

Yeah, the guys at Sam Ash by me are very helpful. They put together my home studio for me as well as the church sound system and drum setup, to which I just added roto toms to today.Reefius wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 5:26 pmI just checked the manual for the Yamaha Genos and it says the keyboard can be split in four parts.

The owner actually brought up the Genos and it does look very impressive. I think that's what I'm leaning towards.

Genos should be fine, I’ve always trusted Yamaha with orchestral sounds, especially brass and winds. The only thing is the violins and cellos on my MX49 could be a little better. But ensemble strings should be fine. Since the Genos is based off the Tyros and Electone the sounds should be great. Can’t wait to see footage of the new keyboard.
Many paid and free VSTs as well as Kontakt libraries. As well as HW synths/drum machine and acoustic instruments.
