Looks mighty nice. In the vein of a monomachine (or at least the website reminds me of Elektron's)

This has to be April fools...

Use the magic step sequencer/arpegiator to get the notes right. If that is not enough use the built in motionsensor that sense every shake or move you make and turn it into really cool sounds.
Then relax and sample a beat from the built-in FM radio or memorize a tune by whistle it into the built-in microphone. Play your piece to your friends through the built-in speaker. Or...convert it right away to mp3 and mail it to them.

It kinda sounds like a monomachine

Apparently some of the guys who helped with the design of the MnM and MD are behind this company, so I'm not surprised.

It looks too cool to be real I'm afraid. Pity because i would have bought one.

I believe this is real although the website points out that estimated production won't be for another 12 months. My guess is more like 18 - 24 months. This splash page website is just designed to see how much interest the device recieves. A ton of interest will help them make their decision regarding production/pricing.

My guess is $1,200 - $1,600 (plus free shipping!!)
