Yamaha CS80

Yes, but lot of features are missing, to me it's just incomparable,  
it's just a toy. Exactly that important performing aspect was omitted,  
all that what makes a difference between musical instrument and a toy  
- range of the keyboard, polyphonic aftertouch and lot of other...  
Here even the right hands can't do much :-)

But of course there's a possibility of MIDI control, let's wait for  
machine's detailed MIDI implementation and see if it's only preset toy  
or if there's full RPN/NRPN and SysEx control... Maybe it can receive  
polyphonic aftertouch like many other digital Yamaha synthesizers.
