Probably get a couple, you know, in case one breaks or something.

I wonder if the keys offer feedback information. Like if you can have all your keys be red and then when you fire a clip in live it turns red till it is stoped. That would be rather slick. Almost make it worth the cash in some situations. Ill use stickers till then

Thats only £750 in real money.

That thing is RUDE. I want one. But £750 - DAAAAAMN! You could take screen shots of Live and make little images for the buttons. YOU COULD MAKE A SESSION GRID ON THE KEYBOARD!!!
I hope they license the technology out - how bad would a 12x12 grid of these buttons be?

You could just buy a bunch of the mini 3-key version @ 100$ each and tape them together...Patch wrote:That thing is RUDE. I want one. But £750 - DAAAAAMN! You could take screen shots of Live and make little images for the buttons. YOU COULD MAKE A SESSION GRID ON THE KEYBOARD!!!

Funny shit. BTW, the grid is 48x48. I also do hardcore photo work, so it's not just for Live. Besides...it's just a an expensive toy.

So, it shows pictures on the keys; that's it?
Seems like it's adding about 20% more functionality (you could always put stickers on your keyboard and colour-code your clips) for 500% more money.
I'll pass, but it's an interesting concept. No thanks.
