Just out of curiosity I looked at the price of a Zen Riffer. $4,000. Yikes! Looks freaking awesome though.

I suppose if you got a bunch of those cheap RockBand Keytars it would be cool to set one on fire while you're playing at every gig.

I was thinking the same thing doing it with a Kronos in about 10-15 years.

Keytars would be sooooooo much better without wasting the player's left hand on a stupid simulated guitar neck. Let us be keys players and stop trying to simulate a guitar!

I got frustrated waiting for Manufacturers, and converted my own Kross1 into a keytar. This keytar has 5 octaves of full size keys, with multiple splits, battery powered, under 10lbs, and one of the coolest looking KROG's ever made. https://youtu.be/I7YHznSAEYY

Hang it on a hot, leggy, scantily-clad supermodel.

Only way I can think of.

Agree!- that's a good Patch loaded into it - and had a nice Hook to it.
