Just looked at the photo again, apologies if this has already been pointed out but the digital mellotron in the picture starts on F and my M400 starts on G. What's going on? Is the photo "faked" or is it just going to have 2 redundant keys to look nice?
Markus explained the extended lower keyboard range as follows: 1) to accommodate the range of Optigan sounds (no word regarding tron sounds); and 2) to have an even octave keyboard.
