What a strange product, is it meant for those who want to take the next step on from guitar hero?.

I think they’re thinking there’s a parallel with modern musical fashion and right around the time when keytars were all the rage.
Maybe they’re right
It’s Yamaha – don’t you think the Reface line would have sold better, if they packaged them like this? 
I dont hate the idea of a keytar its the pretending to play part that puzzles me, is it just for fun or for those who want to look like a musician without having to learn?.

Wävetable craziness in a desktop synth. Pretty unique. All those sliders makes this thing really playable. (My cat could play this for instance.)

I think it’s a pretty routine feature. Demo songs on keyboards.
Also, I’m not sure how much it’s to “look” like being a musician- I think the “tar” aspect of the keytar implies jamming- so it’s to encourage jamming
Any clues on price,?
I must have got the wrong impression it looked like you loaded popular songs and pressed the keys to make it play, a bit like guitar hero.
I think it’s too early to know. Flame also has a Eurorack module related to this the 4VOX that is about $550.

Top quality boutique gear then ! It’s the sliders that do it for me lol
For the Rhyming New Product Award, two Eurorack controllers that look like they were channeling each other.
The Buchla 112 Touch Controlled Voltage
-AND-
The Verbos Mini Horse
I bet this has origin with Don Buchla himself. Mark Verbos has honored Don before by making ideas that were impossible when first thought of, real.
Does anybody else not get excited about ‘no-name’ products, regardless of hype? I always just imagine them breaking down and people stop responding to your emails or something 
Icon Platform Nano
Another small footprint midi DAW controller. The Presonus Atom is a recent release in this arena. This looks like it might be better.

The Freaky New Arturia AudioFuse Studio
For guitar players, this looks like pretty great, although pricey. Living in the big city, I’ve never been able to own the big powerful amp heads that I’ve always lusted after, and certainly could never crank them. It would be cool to get one of these and be able to get together a little collection of amp heads and be able to record them silently.

No one can see yer shit when you play live.
And, myself, certainly dont need logos to inspire a jam.
You could always fill the engraving with paint.
