I had a Stage 2ex and recently a Stage 3 which I adored, but I had to sell them to afford my real Hammond B3 and XK5. I know, I know, what a decision...
Now I'm in need of a midi rack unit I can plug into my XK5 System. It'll fit into my IEM rack. I only want decent Clav, Rhodes and Whirly. That's it.
Any recommendations? I don't want another keyboard. Rack mount is it. And no virtual pc instruments. Too much to go wrong as it is,

Re: MIDI rack recommendation - I miss my Stage 3!!
I came back to this thread to recommend the GSI Gemini but see that someone beat me to it lol...so this is a second! The spec was just updated in the last few years to have more memory for sounds, etc, so it's definitely a currently supported product.

I ended up getting a Nord Electro 2 rack. I have to convert it to 115v from 220v today so I'll see how it sounds.
The Gemini sounds GREAT.
