Jim...My heart was warmed by your response to Nic.  You have no idea how much thought went into this project, and from my point of view none of it was profit driven.....just the opposite. If we could provide a (hopefully better) instrument AND save the keyboard player a lot of money, then sales would be there. Like, a replacement tape would cost $5 and you could replace it in the middle of a live performance with one hand...or you could just copy the tape yourself and save the 5 bucks !!  I never wanted to make money on after sales. If you have any other questions, let us know !!   dave

Thanks for your reply, Nic. It did indeed clear up the questions I had. Some quite clever responses to seemingly insurmountable technical hurdles. Excellent example of an instrument that "could have been..." if only time had been more kind.
