Not the same DS/Sequential as before which had a clear differentiation between products. Does not look like there is going to be any real innovation anymore. Tried many keybeds but always came back to the one on the Rev2.

The keybed is something else. Also used in the Synclavier.

Not yet found the ideal PolyAT controller

Very new. A good opportunity for an artist to create a new vision.

I don’t have anymore room. 2. I like the synth to have keys for when I just want to turn it on and play. So I need small w a keyboard. .
Slim keys, and not. Alot of them is the design choice id make.

Come on now…you’re going against the grumpy groupthink here with some practical insight….seriously though, it sounds and looks great and a good price

The price and minikeys polyAT is actually a big draw point too however heh.

Hopefully that will be the next synth they revive! no that i’d be able to afford it lol…but T8 is such a beautiful instrument, just happy to know that it exists! I wish more synths felt like that.

I think the ASM Hydrasynth Explorer has true mini keys and polyphonic aftertouch if that is what you are looking for.
