InfiniteResponse midi controller at NAMM 2010

[fas1piano]

i am getting one when i have saved up for it. @critics: have you ever bought a serious instrument at all? USD 3000 will NOT buy you e.g. a decent upright bass. the sound generator today is the laptop, so that's not a problem.

yeah, waste of money and time! Old people need to invest their money in something else other than that crap!

[TheSigp220]

[PhantomWarlock]

almost $3000 just for a midi controller?

first the said THREE YEARS AGO........ it was gonna be 26lb........ now its over 35..... then it was to be multicolor.... now 2 color... then it was to be $2696 now....... $3000...... i'll even bet the touch is NOT that great....... remember how great CME was supposed to be and turned out to be awful. ........

I'm pretty sure that I'm going to buy one of these. I do understand the $ shock - i.e. "$3000 for a Controller..." - I totally get that.

When I think about what an excellent action on a piano costs - or, for that matter, what other musicians must pay for high quality instruments (cellos, horns...) then I think that the price is actually a considerable value.

I'm making some assumptions - I haven't played a VAX77 yet, but if what I have read about it is true, I think I'm going to love it.

And, it's not the folding that attracts me - it's attention to detail of the action, support for poly aftertouch and release velocity, the fact that it's a 76 key board that has a low A instead of E, and the way that they describe their key scanning/analysis (poised to offer higher resolution than the 128 levels currently found in the midi spec?).

The fact that it folds is a bonus.

Incredible idea that seems incredibly well executed... I'm just not sure I'm ready to pony-up $3000 for a MIDI Controller (no matter how advanced). Time will tell - thanks for posting this (for those of us who'll likely never get to go to a NAMM show).

The Polyaftertouch is a feature you that would u would need to pay over a thousand for on Ebay for a used 1990kurzweil midiboard controller to get any quality.....

I wished it was in an 88 key form with a ribbon for some CS80 controll
