If Digital Keyboards had access to ASIC design and fabrication facilities, history might have been different.

A quick follow up -- everything in the Synergy is standard 74 series logic chips. You can look at the oscillator board and touch the accumulators and adders and all that, which you can't really do on a DX. (Not that you would want to per se.)
