Re: [Doepfer_a100] New Poll created about the forthcoming Doepfer Touch Keyboard Sequencer project.

2009-11-15 by watson

Also Det3 aka joe grisso(engineer for stg soundlabs) will be releasing
a touchplate keyboard with 4 rows of sequencing and a force to scale
on it. This will more than likely appear in the next year and has been
name dropped a few times on certain forums. I am aware this keyboard
is far into development and I'm pretty certain it is going to see the
light of day, it will also street for quite a bit less than the serge
or buchla. I am pretty sure there will be both an 1/8" and 1/4"
version. It will be called Archangel.
