Hi Dug: I also have a Roland Fantom XR synth module, and unfortunately you
will need sited assistance for the first time in helping to set up the unit.
Fortunately the Fantom Xr, right out of the box works extremely well, and
thus far haven't had any problems. However what needs to happen is that
like the cell phones, EG. nokia 6620, it would be nice if a piece of
software were developed that would install on the new keyboards, which would
read out what the prompts on the display are. Note: accessible software
would also do the trick.

Hi Doug:
Currently, the Yamaha Motif and Motif ES is a popular line of keyboards amongst blind musicians. Learning these keyboards and their menus will require some memorization, but they do not have the touch view function that the Triton has which makes it inaccessible to a blind user.
Hope that helps.

[mailto:ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe]Hi,
I'm a sighted AT person who has been volunteering to help a musician who is blind, get his JAWS and Caketalking working. Tonight it became apparent that despite the great combo of JAWS, Caketalking and Sonar, that two of the two keyboards I've played with [my cheap Casio CTK-631 and his fancier Korg Triton] have inaccessible interfaces for doing things like toggling local on/off settings.
What keyboards, if any have an accesible interface for doing this and more complex settings changes?
