<P><BR><BR>----- I've never seen or played the above instruments, but did ARP use a similar device for the pressure buttons on some (why not all?) Oddyseys ? Those, the duophonic keyboard, and key reset LFO are what I love most about the Oddy. Wish I had dozens of those button. Maybe even build some into shoes. Synth Controller Shoes ! OH YEEAAHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</P>
