Yeah - its f'n outrageous. Now idea of price yet - says Don. But it have both pressure and vertical position sensitivity like the Continuim controller. The keys are laid out in the "Klingon battleship" format like the first Thunder, yet it's a 200e module - it mounts into a boat and not a stand alone like T 1. It's a capacitance keyboard like all the others. White keys with laminate over them, not metal keys. Over them, which makes the key outline is a final laminated layer which is silver colored and pretty much matched the metal of the other faceplates. Sounds hokey? It's not. It's very clean, very sexy, looks great in the unit, is very easy to work with. I can't go into all that much detail right now - I've got to get to Namm myself, but along with the controller panel, there's a separate controller module with it with many many outputs - the keys and the X/Y pads and there's about an inch square cutout on this external module which exposes a sensor to use Lightning type rings (different types - different sensing capabilities, all worn on your finger like your wedding ring - as explained by Yazi) that behave like the Lighning wands. There's other comments I could make, but they are speculative - I haven't asked the right questions so I'll wait until I do that to make any more assertions about the system - and I'll post again. The thing is amazing. mike_synth wrote: > Does anyone have any info on what this is? > > dig it. > > > mikey_synthi > > > > > > > Yahoo! Groups Links > > > > > >
