This thing is rumoured to be vapourware, and I've heard negative 
comments about their CEO (along the lines of 'fraud'). You may want to 
await some tests in reputable magazines before parting with your money.

Wasn't this thing announced about a year ago? They're now running adverts in KB Mag 
for whatever that's worth.

I read about it on the internet so it has to be true :)

Well, an internet acquaintance of mine (who DOES work at a reputable 
synth firm) tried to turn a knob on the thing on some NAMM thingy when 
it was first shown, and nearly broke it off. It was just a knob glued to 
a mock-up case.

Given the price of the thing, I'd want to play with one, and read tests, 
before I'd even think of buying one - apart from the fact that I loathe 
the whole concept, that is.
