The Mopho Keyboard does look cool. Even if I don't see the point of buying a keyboard version of that when you can control it via midi or USB (that applies to any desktop vs. keyboard synthesizer) - in terms of money. Quite the same as Waldorf Bugfeld and Bugfeld Keyboard. Lots more money for adding a crappy plastic keyboard.
This said the Mopho sounds great as the Tetra and Prophet 08.

I'd be happy if Winter NAMM 2010 was a huge bugfixing session, since most of the hardware I bought in the last six months is overloaded with bugs: Blofeld/Bugfeld was supposed to get an OS update by Christmas and it didn't even come out at NAMM. The Ultralite Mk3 Hybrid, which was supposed to be Hybrid by running smoothly on USB2 and Windows (yes, there are people producing music with Ableton on Windows), doesn't even record without dropouts in the ASIO driver...

most of the time i agree with this, but this time the keyboard version does have more controls on its face

just saw this and for those that have ADAT ports on their interface and nothing going in or out of those, i'd highly recommend this unit...

http://focusrite.com/products/saffire/o ... i_dynamic/

it's 8 focusrite preamps with combo xlr/trs inputs and trs outputs. it's also got 24-bit/96 khz adat i/o. this is the unit that will replace the octopre le and le codec card. it's not the greatest AD/DA converter, but it's the best 8-channel converter you'll get for under $1000. i've got the octopre le and it's pretty cool for what the price was.
