  I agree on the model number issue.  Seems like a bit of a risk.
  A useful addition for stage play would be a programmable "favorite voices" selector, with possibly 12 or more memorized A/B combos.  The present design looks like it requires one to spin the voice selectors thru up to 50 stops each way, until the required voice is found (for both A & B voices). 
  This digital 'tron looks like a great addition for the stage, but only if it sits on top of a real one!

Interesting that it will also emulate the touch sensitivity of a mellotron. If I'm not mistaken, it will have some of the 'articulations' that Fritz and Chris talked about earlier.

Agreed. They should pick another number for Christ's sake!
