my other piece of gear porn for you all

I often think to myself "damn but I have too many keyboards in my rig. I think I have about five. Who needs that many??? I do apparently. So I'm often reluctant to salivate over new keyboards no matter how badass the features attached to them are then today while goofing off at work I found this:







fucking microtonal synthesizer! fucking too many notes between an octave to believe! this thing sounds amazing to me. I know that microtonal and a-tonal music is not a staple of everybody's sound pallate much in the way that a haggis is repulsive to the imagination of a lifelong vegan but I suppose if I were to follow that analogy further I'd be eating some oatmeal out of a sheep's stomach with a grin. The only problem is that with that many keys there are an equally infinite number of ways to make it sound like crap, and learning it well enough to have proficiency would probably take the rest a person's life... still I would buy one had I the funds, I'm certainly thinking about it... they have a totally midi version which re-tunes regular keyboards too.

go to their website and marvel at the musical Lego looking keyboards!
