Finally for me is the best keyboard in the style arranger and never leaves me in the studio with piano bar, he'll need two to do well. (And date yet!) e MS 10 will be replaced by the MS 100 and the XD1 for larger capacitsmmoires and other sound even richer.

I was watching a youtube video and saw a piano like instrument that was new to me, and have had a hard time identifying what it was. I loved the timbre and the idea for it: I did looking around, and found something called a 'melodica'. It seems similar, but there are differences: • Melodica has less range.

• It is higher pitched. • Melodica has a brighter sound, but I like the dark sound of the instrument in the video. • The mouth piece seems different.

Can anyone identify the instrument by name or possibly by a reference to somewhere it is sold? (I'm not asking for advertising, but if it is the only way to identify something then it is still much appreciated.) Also the name of the performer might be useful too, since I can find other videos of him playing the instrument. I also noticed that in the last few seconds of the video, he is playing without the mouth piece in. Vibrate the best of rufus wainwright rar.

Perhaps it is not an 'instrument' so much as an accessory for a keyboard? I don't know. Thanks for any help. It probably depends on the keyboard's expander whether it supports this kind of input. It probably is linked to the 'expression' controller or pedal. An obvious candidate for Midi expanders dealing with this kind of input are those which specifically support use with an accordion since reasonably recent accordion midification sets usually include a pressure sensor. Another good candidate are normal keyboards which are also available in an 'accordion' version (for example, among the oldtimers the Solton/Ketron MS-80 is an accordion keyboard version of the MS-100, so the MS-100, a regular keyboard, is a good candidate for breath controllers).

Of course this also means that electronic accordions (or their keyboard variants) are sort of predestined as a controller for creating music controlled by pressure, and if you use the bellows rather than a mouthpiece, you even remain able to sing along. And you can even get acoustic-only accordions for that kind of expressive play.

The acoustic flat hand-sharing-manual keyboard variant is a harmonium. However, the have a lot more inertia regarding the bellows control: you can use them for general loudness variations, but they don't really work well for actual articulation.
