Wow, that’s quite a premium for some more polyphony, an aluminium case, different Keybed and aftertouch.

I’m guessing Korg have upgraded to a new Raspberry Pi compute module, hence the increased polyphony across the range?

The Wavestate SE works out to be $600 AUD more expensive than a Nautilus 61 key…

I am interested to hear what people think of the differences in The Wavestate SE after trying it out. I've not had chance yet. I am especially interested in the quality of the keybed and if it's more like a Kronos 61 keybed now and less like a toy.
