2. A  table top keyboard using digital replay technology. Prototyped but 
rejected as  a single note played on either would sound very similar but as soon 
as more  than one note was played the 'real thing' sounded so much better. 
Without  going into detail (don't bother asking as the results of the research is  
now a Streetly secret) each time you play a note on a tape replay instrument  
you get a 'performance' that is different each time even if it is  the same 
note! Scrapped - just didn't sound good enough (but Streetly are  fussy!).


John still has the prototype - I just asked him.  Maybe we can dig it  out 
and send you all some photos.  Nick Magnus was also in on this project  with 
Norm at the software end.  Thank goodness we went the M4000  route.
 
Best,
