I found the acces virus TI II Polar and someone is coming by the house on Tuesday to show it to me. It's only got 37 keys but the layout of that one and the 61 key version are identical. I was thinking of recording some notes on the unit when the guy is here so if you'd like a copy of that recording, let me know.

Sorry it took a while to reply to this. Been on vacation. The nord keyboards like the nord lead 2x, nord stages and nord electro are very accessible. So is the nord wave.Novation is cool. I have used an x-station a-station and a nova 2. The menus don't rap and they can be figured out if you don't mind making notes on themenus. Same with the alesis ion, although the modulation matrix is a bit tricky without notes. The jp8080 is still very accessible, but again, meuy diving is necessary. Good luck finding one. The Korg Radias has potential, but it is full of a lot of menus as well. I can't speak on the access virus ti2 or snow. It seems the the menus do rap, but somebody tells me that may not be the case anymore. This is pretty much all I know. You can also look into the Dave Smith instruments prophet 08. Seems like it would be accessible. -- Damon Fibraio screen names -- aol: dfibraio...msn dfibraio@xxxxxxxxxxxx skype: dfibraio Find me on facebook as Damon fibraio or twitter as @dfibraio personal music site: http://www.keyboardguy.com.

Several of us blind guys owned Alesis Ions. Lots of hardware control, butstill some menus. Novation has some VAs with lots of hardware controls. TheX-Station had a fair amount of controls, but their A-Station, and others, didn't. The cheap VAs will have fair sound, but will use few controls and lots ofmenus. If you get lots of hardware controls, then the price goes up. If you get a multitembral unit, and/or with effects, then the price goes up again.Damon Fibraio has owned several of these, including a few recent ones from Nord that didn't work out. Perhaps he'll comment. You should be prepared to spend $800 or more, unless you want a toy. Bryan On Aug 5, 2011, at 6:01 PM, scott lawlor wrote:Hi Brian or anyone else who uses virtual analog gear. Out of curiosity, what virtual analog synth would you suggest that has a better price point and is more accessible than the roland jp8080? The only thing close to a VA synthesizer that I used, and this was sometimeago, was the Yamaha AN1X and if memory serves, that one doesn't have verymany sounds, has rollover menus and it sounded a bit thin to my ears, likeIcouldn't get very fat sounds or high volumes in different mixes but then that was back in 1997 or so.
