The Mk2 must be quite a responsive machine. When I saw the guy rake
down the keys on the right keyboard with the back of his fingers, my
heart nearly stopped. Let's see him try rapidfire ragtime on a M-400
and attempt to beat key attack.

You can do it on an Optigan, but the racket from all the rebounding
plastic keys would drown out the golden lo-fi sound...and I certainly
wouldn't want that.

Excellent find, btw; really made my day. Kudos.

I'd like to see vintage footage of three people on the three-arse
bench jamming away gleefully in the family living room, the sounds
reminding one of Wonderwall spiraling out of control.
