The Stage 4 gives each layer a full effect section, which changes how you build sounds for a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe panel was redesigned around that idea. Physical drawbars with LED indicators sit alongside the piano and synth controls, so organ registration, layer balance and effect state are all readable without menu diving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three models have aftertouch and a Triple Sensor keybed. The 88 covers A to C, the 73 covers E to E, and the Compact uses a semi weighted waterfall action over the same E to E range for players who lead with organ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable class=\"vmi-at-a-glance\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeybeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully weighted Triple Sensor 88 and 73, or semi weighted waterfall Compact 73\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAftertouch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOn all three models\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrawbars\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhysical drawbars with LED indicators\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComplete effect section per layer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53 lbs, 37 lbs and 28.6 lbs respectively\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRange\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA to C on the 88, E to E on the 73 and Compact\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich Stage 4 Model Fits Your Rig?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with what your left hand does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStage 4 88: fully weighted A to C.
