@TheSyntethicSound which is why i love hardware over software, being able to physically touch and say, heres the instrument itself is a great feeling :D

[TheSyntethicSound]

I would realy like to have this kind of hardware, not because of the sound, but because of so awesome buttons and ui interface:)
