Remember you can do this yourself just by connecting a cable from MIDI OUT to MIDI IN and setting up the MIDI send/receive parameters properly. This works on every S and Tyros model too.
Actually this is far from the same.
There is no integration when doing this.
The strong point of the V-console is the integration with the instrument.
You can reconfigure your settings with a single button on the V-console
Where changing midi in your proposed setup is a burden.
Where things are all about the ease of setting up, and sit and play.
There V-console is a blessing.
Because it not only works as a midi router.
But also adds many switch and filter and control options
right under the players hands.
Also it comes with a whole prelude of high end presets.
