Just  wondering. Why did the M400, and others, end up with a 35 note 
keyboard?  Was it a carryover from the Chamberlins? Apart from a 
Tron, I don't think  I've ever seen another 35 note keybord/midi  
controller.



It's all to do with recordings from life and natural ranges  rather than the 
multisampled, processed, tuned, re-tuned and if all else  fails, invented 
sounds found in keyboards of other persuasions.  Of course  I could be wrong!
