just to set the record straight.

just to set the record straight.

2002-07-18 by synth_freak_2000

hi list,
nobody told me to create a last minute poll about the sensor keyboard!
i was mistaken to think that dieter was thinking to release a 
mechanical keyboard instead of the sensor keyb.
so,i was WRONG!dieter latter explained to me that they NEVER thought 
of replacing the sensor keyb. with a mechanical one!they were only 
thinking if they would release a SECOND a100 keyboard with mechanical 
keyboard and cv/gates.
that's all!so,everyone's happy,i guess... :-)
bakis.
p.s.:so,i might delete this new poll as it,now, doesn't make sense!

Maybe just modify the poll so it reflects the real question: Should 
Doepfer produce a manual keyboard version of the sensor 
keybd/sequencer, in addition to the touch version?

I will vote YES! Minimoog-size synth-action keyboard w/velocity and 
polyphonic midi in addition to the CV/Gates, mod wheel and PB, a flat 
surface for the ribbon controller (and an integral midi merger, thank 
you).

Vintage gear is okay, but there isn't much new on the market that's 
suitable. The Voyager will be expensive, the synthesizers.com 
controller and the AS Sorceror aren't too great.
