MODO Piano ???
ADDED :
It’s called Pianoverse and it looks deluxe. They have released sevaral videos about it.
Korg will very very likely be showing their new Keystage keyboard controller with a Medeli Polytouch polyphonic-aftertouch keybed, and MIDI 2.0 and MPE support. It will come in both a 49 and a 61 key version.

This is neat -
I’m usually a bit iffy about generative stuff that takes way the need for compositional skill, but this thing seems quite endearing and if you think about it as a little robot drummer that you can use as a ‘band member’ I could see it being a nice addition to a set or studio.

+1 for sliders for complexity, nice choice. -1 for “deliberately unlabelled”, that pushes my buttons…
lol, just watched the same video about 20 min. ago.
I like the combo of CR-78 inspired analog drums and generative beats in one standalone unit

Artcore was at the show, though they were not listed as an exhibitor. Artcore is described in the following article as an innovative self-releasing music marketplace that could be an alternative to Bandcamp. This article also has a link to a video interview of Tom Burnell from Artcore done by Gaz Williams. Perhaps special arrangements were made for this interview at the show.
Also from the article :
Notably, Artcore provides more DJ-oriented features, such as prominently displaying metadata like BPM and key, making it a valuable resource for DJs seeking new tracks.

I had a play with this. The design is gorgeous and it’s really fun little unit. It’s all analog and the sound is good. It’s preprogrammed patterns and feels a bit like using Mutable Grids. It wasn’t quite clear to me the range of patterns or whether you could add your own.

Hi Jukka, Thanks for referencing the interview. Yes I was there checking out the gear and spreading the word about Artcore. I met Gaz and he kindly offered to do a piece. Lovely bloke. Great show too - some amazing gear.
I lusted over the Motas synth and Playfader but this magnet on vinyl controller was crazy fun
Will also be at BPM DJ show next weekend so hit me up if you’re there.

A nine minute walk through by Divkid, with his interesting live commentary.
Done at the end of the show so some are packing up and closing down.

This is an enormous project for this small of a maker. That is a commercially available product is amazing to me. Obviously very much a boutique product, but there you go.
