quoting the article:
“best-feeling keys on the market”
I don't know... I used to have a k-station and a bass station from novation and the keys were bad on both units...

It's kinda hard to play a keyboard solo on the bitstream though.

Also hard to use the Novation as a theremin!
pick your poison!
Personally, I find little use for a controller with a keyboard for dj type setup.
Once again all these controllers are subjective to personal requirements.

Its already out, dolphin music in the UK has two in stock, £329. Looks pretty good, especially as it scans your plug ins for controllable parameters. No more assigning midi ccs.

Live does not support this (yet).

remote25 (previous model i guess) happy user here.
i can only add i love it and wouldn't swap that for any other equally priced controller.
curious about this new model, hope to get some feedback about it later on.

If"more to follow very soon" was added on there, does that mean its a novation thing, or is this a live compatibility issue?
I like the fact that it has keys, knobs, buttons, and drum pads, along with those sleek looking LCDs and its slim size. That alone, may not be worth $400 USD though.
