Very good feel on Virus' keyboard. "I like 'em a lot". Some people say they're too bouncy for fast playing but I don't seem to notice that problem. If you play (really play) keyboards, Virus kB/kC is great master keyboard!

should i get the virus kc and leave the kiawa to control the roland, obviously if i did that id need more that the 1 midi i/o on the audiophile

You could do that. I think it might be even better when you could play the synth sounds on the Virus and the sample based stuff on the other keyboard.

could i make the kiawa redundant and control the roland using the virus kc???(is this a bad idea?)

Not a bad idea, but it might cause a bit more work to fiddle with channels.

im a bit confused, and given the price difference in c and kc its worth investigating.

As I said the keyboard of kC is great! You're going to love it!

What I would do is to keep the Kiawa and buy kC (if you can afford). That way you don't have to get insane with channels.

But of course if you feel comfortable with channel tweaking, sell the Kiawa.
