I want one so bad. I wonder how much they cost.

Link to awesome.

They sound awesome, which is the important part. Shame about the £4000 price tag.

Yeah, how much is that in US dollars again?

Around 6580$

aw maaaan, that sucks

[Sinitech]

It's so stupid looking...

But it sounds so cool...

[Lost-Chances]

So, essentially, it's just a keyboard with effects.

[pyromaniac616]

That does sound cool. Reminds me of Muse for some strange reason...

I still prefer the piano though.

Mainly because I can play it

Those look fucking amazing to play, but I don't think I'll be shelling out more than £200 for musical supplies anytime soon.

Yea. But in the same way the ocean is just a glass of water with vastness.

Thing looks pretty cool. Article said there was a 'pico' version that was something like 1/10th the price of the 'alpha' version. I like the sounds, like the guitar-like setup to the buttons, and really like the drum effects built into the bottom.

The prohibitively expensive price is an issue for anyone who isn't a serious musician, though. If they're still around in 20-30 years maybe I'll have the pleasure to play one.

So the keyboard has more variation and effects?

Its unfortunate that's the only song I've been able to find that does the instrument any justice, and its till wasn't as good as the original recording... in most places... but I imagine with a lot more practice and later models it'll be a lot better than it is now...
