Hi List,

There has been some really good constructive input on this subject.

I agree with Ring Mod that the TKB should be built from the specs of the
original modules and then improved, not have a reduced subset of
features.

As with any development, you cannot please everyone and Dieter has the
commercial issues to concern himself with, there is little point in
producing the best system with every feature if he only sells 10 units.

Never having used a touch keyboard for any length of time, I did get to
play with a Buchla system for a few hours once, I can only rely on the
experience of those with more familiarity.

I'm not and never will be a keyboard player, I use alternative
controllers all the time, both midi and analogue. Whatever the outcome,
I wait with baited breath.
