It will be harder to get just the expression you want if it is anything like hall effect thumb sticks for controllers…..while more robust and offers more “definition”, getting it perfectly like you want it is more difficult than a more physical type connection.

Assuming this really is something to give Fatar some reasonable competition, I hope this finds itself offered in some quality synths. Was just playing with my Korg MultiPoly earlier today and thinking “damn, the keybed on this sucks compared to the synth as a whole,”

In reply to Stephen Archbold. If you have a synth, how are you planning to add,,, anything at all and not make it more expensive?

If it wins because it feels right, €100 per octave seems refreshingly inexpensive. If I’d drop $600 for a lower-end synthesizer, I’d also most likely drop that on a 61-key controller that will be everything I’d need as a player. They’ve put a lot of sensible care into it, so I can see using one as a master controller for a long time. I think their chances are good, because the attention to detail is impressive.

I read the headline as “Promises To Make Synths More Expensive”!
