Looks cool. I like that you can chain them together. But with no MIDI on board, and no way to edit the sounds, it might get a bit tiresome.

Couldn't see a price either?

i don't understand these 8x8 tenori-on things (including the countless iphone apps) that are stuck on the C major scale. limited and far too cheerful sounding

This one is $49us .... so that kind of justifies the limitations of it. I've ordered a few think geek branded toys before... and they have all broken within the first few days of use... however almost all of the other stuff I've brought has been quality.. just their own brand seems to be made very cheaply

I like it, thanks for the heads up Tom!

prob easy to wire it as an HID input and use it in ableton, like the APC-40s mini-me.

it's worth $49
I like the size, too.

could it be circuit-bendable too, for mad sounding nonsense ?

looks like something that should be in an Urban Outfitters catalog. right next to the stylophone synth and stylophone beatbox.

Cheap Crap!!! and a Kaossilator

No way to edit the sounds? That's what Live is for!
