This was a great, well balanced review. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The "pads" are not monophonic.....the screen controller is. Plug in your padKontrol and you will have full polyphonic behavior, exactly the same as M3/M50.

Thanks RonF. I agree concerning the pads. It's solely a limitation of the touch screen. I'll eventually be hooking up the padKONTROL.

Well, we have no kids at home, but there's been a flurry of keyboard movement in the last few months as I've been selling off my old stuff. I think my wife has come to expect seeing big weird boxes at regular intervals now, and has given up on keeping track.

I am truly blessed. :wink:
