> are there any news on this,expected time/latest specs

No. We just want to finish the two CV/Gate keyboards (normal with moving
keys and touch version) and the control box (with some wheels, joy stick and
switches) before we start the keyboard/sequencer controller. I hope that the
normal keyboard will be available still this year. We still have some minor
problems with the latest prototype of the case (mainly problems with
distances, e.g. white keys touch the front cover when pressed very hard,
black keys rattle to the top cover if released very fast). Our case
manufacturer said it should be no problem to correct these minor problems by
changing some measures. So I'm confidential that the keyboards will be
available end of this year.
