Mountainside, there's a thread on the Sonikmatter Kurzweil forum on this exact subject. The new keyboards like my Kurz PC3 do such a good job of emulating all the old classic analog keyboards, do you really need to keep them? The answer is purely personal. If you're the type who just has to have that perfect classic patch for one of your songs then keep those old Oberheims but short of that the new keyboards run circles around that old stuff. There's a couple of guys over there who will wax poetic about how new keyboards can't quite capture that perfect sound but everybody else including me thinks "who cares"? Most of the high end keyboards including mine have Virtual Analog (VA) synthesis on board and sound great. Even if somebody were to do a direct side by side comparison and hear some slight difference it's still "who cares"?

Notes, just mho, you sould sell all that stuff and get one of the new super keyboards. My Kurz is a candidate along with the Kronos. Both are fully capable of getting so squeakingly close to any classic old sound you can name you would never notice any difference in a mix and then when you start talking about full orchestrations, and any other instrument you can name, both are just stellar. Imo. Yes it's a lot of money but you're replacing all that stuff with one great keyboard, self contained, all the latest and greatest with killer update support from their respective companies.
