Transportable keyboard with up to 88 keys, that breaks down into sections. Does have built in sound module with over 100 sounds. Headphone output. Can be configured with 88, 73, 64, 49 or 40 keys. They are working on a hammer action version.
Would wonder if a 112 key version might be possible ?

Updates on the ERAE 2 from the show.
Nice to see improvements being made for this interesting MPE controller.
It has both a hardware interface with touch screen and a complete browser interface with storage and recall. The synth is stereo with two separate voices together one per side. It has MPE. You can also use each side alone in mono, but the stereo is designed for its binaural effect.
I would say this synth has some capability that could be described in the realm of physical modelling. We shall see how this synth develops as it matures.
It is truly unfortunate that SFF isnāt covered by other sources. There is interesting gear at this show that only appears here, and it deserves better coverage.
Was thinking in particular of the Sonic State group ( which is more than just Nick ) and others that do videos and articles at Superbooth, and NAMM, and even shows like Knobcon. Look at the coverage that was given at Synth East this year.
The Sonic State coverage, whether it is Nick, or the others with them that do videos and articles, are almost always top quality, and they have it down so they release videos often in less than 24 hours, and certainly 48.
Itās also been a few years since Les Sondiers did videos from SFF.
Was also commenting directly on the ( lack of ) coverage of the Pylobolus synth. This is a very interesting development, that got no other press coverage, and about this video, which came three weeks after the show ( better late than never ! ), that perhaps others notice i queued 7:30 in, and gave a summary for the content in that earlier portion. Fortunately the sound quality in the later sound demo part of that video is quite good, and an article was done too.
It takes a lot of work ( and equipment ) to do videos and write articles, and cover a show like this, but there is clearly a void in coverage and documentation for SFF, that hopefully will get remedy in the future. There is a real opportunity for SFF.
@LyingDalai : Do you want to take the ā2025ā out of this thread title and make this a continuing thread ? I did that with the Machina Bristronica thread for three years now and it seems to have worked out. I just pointed ahead to the next year in the top post.
@Martebar knows the city better than me, Iām there only occasionally
Anyway Iāve checked: the website says there are direct lines to Nantesā train station in the middle of the city, it takes 20mn. But I donāt see what they are talking about: it would seem the ride takes around 50mn by bus/tramway.
So I think I would get a hotel in Carquefou, if I were in your shoes.
There seems to be food and drink there
Usually there are actually a few concerts on the site, I think it closes around 23:00, maybe midnightā¦
No clue what Iāl do then, cause I am hosted by a couple of friends so I usually stay the evening with them. And Iām usually tired af at the end of the day.
So I canāt promise anything for now. But if we are a bunch of Nauts it would be a pity not to celebrate at some point, especially if youāre coming from abroad, Iād feel bad to leave you alone both evenings
First is on me anyway.
Thanks for the concern but my party days are mostly over! A beer (on me) during the events is on order, but Iām usually at the hotel around 23h 00h when Iām travelling alone these days!
My question was exactly as you say, from my limited knowledge of Nantes and a look at the map thereās no way thatās a 20m ride, not even by taxi! The concerts are an excellent point, I will try to find something within a walking distance from the congress center.
is on me anyway.
