Very curious to me. So are they reliable, reputable, stable...
I suspect Liontracs is a small company. To my knowledge, they have virtually no distribution capability here in the U.S.. Also, I would classify their products as arranger keyboards, which are more common and popular in Europe than the U.S..
There products have been talked about in this forum for a number of years now since Liontracs posted here a few times comparing their products with the OASYS.
To me (and I have never demoed one) their products seem to be overly complex and the information they present on their website, at least too me, seems way to computer operating sytem focused.
I also recall some concerns a few years ago about the legality of some of the sample libraries they were selling/providing with their keyboards.
At least to me in the U.S., Liontracs isn't really much of a possibility because they have no real distribution network here. Some people in Europe have made similar complaints about OpenLabs and Muse Research products primarily only being available in the U.S.
Does Liontracs have a good European distribution network? If it is not sold in major stores across Europe that may be why you haven't heard of them.
Sharp,
Does your keyboard include a copy of NI B3? I have seen that B3 screen in their online stuff, but I was under the impression that NI no longer sells a B3 product.
