I won't even play a small keyboard because it hoses my piano training... Time spent learning a new instrument is time that could be spent refining old instrument skills, for sure. But certainly I want to play a Linnstrument at some point.

Learning an instrum= ent does NOT hamper your ability to play another, quite the contrary, skill= s carry over from one to the next.

Easy, the Linnstrument does that and way more. I rea= lly think it's the future. Keyboards are great for keyboard sounds (pianos,= organs, clavs etc) for everything else an isomorphic multidimentional touc= h controller is the way forward! > > > > On Wed, May 1, 2019 at 11:09 AM Scott Fox <xxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> wrote: > > Imho, the JDXA was a lot of fun. > > > > "Right.
