that has given me an idea..... hmmmmmm nice.

lets see what else Roland and the likes of come up with. so far, Korg have released the "wavestate" not sure on that one, not what I'm looking for.

Does it have polyphonic aftertouch??

I don't believe so. Can't say I've come across any 88 note controllers with polyphonic aftertouch, if at all.

what I'm after is a slim 88 note weighted action where the pitch and mod wheels are behind the keyboard, not to the side, yes, studiologic do them but for the project in mind where others who don't have experience or could damage the controls, the studiologic controllers are not what I'm looking for.

any ideas?

And MIDI 2.0!
