I know that these modules are not made anymore, but are there any keyboards (hardware or software) that have those piano sounds (or close replicates) of the mks-20 module?

dude roland produced two modules with that sound, the mks 20 and the p 330! i wouldn't pay 350 for a mks 20 because you can get the p 330 for 100-150 bucks! and if your real lucky you can run across the reason refll for the mks 20 for free!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have an MKS-20 and I love it.

The "dynostrait" patch on yamaha's motif and S90 lines are pretty close to the MKS-20's E. Piano 2 patch. When I first recorded my "O Give Thanks" clip on youtube, I used Dynostrait. When I recorded the instructional, I used my MKS-20. You can check out my vids to compare the two.

I have Reason 3.0...I'll have to look into that.

Thanks everybody for your input. How about Kurzweil pianos. Are they just as good as an Mks-20?

thanks. I do like the sound of that piano.

So they used the Dynostrait on the original?

I can never really find songs that use that sound well.

No, they used the E. Piano 2 patch on the mks-20 on the recording. I used Dynostrait on my first youtube clip playing the song.

On Donnie McClurklin's Live in London Album, is that sound on track 13 (We Fall Down reprise/altar call) from an Mks-20? It sounds like some kind of Electric Piano (I think?).

LOL not Korg!

<------------Yamaha... is my favorite, esp the Power Grand patch (S90ES pianos are a very close second)

there's a time and place for an XP-80, MKS-20, etc (Kevin Bond playing for Marvin Sapp)

My music 'mentor' & teacher loves his XP-80 to death even though we get him about it!

(im not trying to put u down, under13, or be disagreeable- maybe i lost some of my salvation when u said it the best ever

didnt mean 2 offend u if i did)

The Power Grand is nice...I have a motif 7 as well. It sounds better to me when I play it midi'ed to my S90ES as the controller.

MKS-20's piano sounds are cool..not realistic...but I love it.
