IMO any controller (be it a keyboard or something else) has its own
advantages and allows playing techniques that others don't.
I never played on such a solid state keyboard, but I'm sure glissandi
and staccato notes are much easier to play than on a piano-type
keyboard. On the other hand, key velocity might be controlled better on
a keyboard with moving keys.

What about the "Touch Responsive Keyboard" from Serge? Someone on this
list posted a link.

Which function does a 726 have in a radio?
