I played a lot of Thunder when Ezra was a kid, too. :-)

He's absolutely right about the transposition toggle thing. It's a  
really interesting way to slide up and down in pitch space.

My main complaint with Thunder (which I think has gotten better on the  
222e) is that the touch went from feather-light to lightweight. Within  
its range it was smooth, but it was really easy hang out at the top of  
the dynamic range.
