@ Rob,

First, wow, I hope that's right.

Got source for price? Retailer? Delivery date?

LOL, the M50 was never intended to compete with MOx as it came out much earlier than the MOx . I have tried both and much prefered the M50 anyway. The krome does indeed seem to blow the MOx completely away as well. I am still holding out for a Kronos however to replace the killer M50 when the money becomes available. Smile

Yamaha needs to move into the 21st century before it competes . The missing touch screen is notable and just one of the reasons I chose the M50 over the MOx even though both were available at the time of my purchase. I agree that the advanced touch screen of the krome will make it even more so desiarable than a MOx.

Does it have a capacitive touchscreen as on modern smartphones, or is it still resistive (read: stubborn)?

I would think it is better than the M50's which is already very smooth to operate. I can not imagine they would make it of less quality.

Given that we found out that it does indeed have sampling capabilities, this board is one excellent bargain indeed. I wonder if Mr.Kay will be offering Karma for this board as well? I will have to inquire over at Karma Labs.
