OMG - I had no idea something like this being planned. What a great addition to the A-100 system! The 'sophisticated' version sounds mindblowing and makes me think in the direction of Yamaha's Tenori-on. I simply can't wait for the release of the sophisticated A-157 - consider 1 unit pre-ordered Dieter :-)
best regards
Jakob
