If you are an original owner of a cs80 and work at M-Audio....You must
know poly AT and how important it is musically....Could you resurrect
polyphonic aftertouch (the most important controller) in your controller
line...I have found lots of soft synths and hardware moduals that
receive poly At info.....I will pay extra for this feature.....BTW I
find the keybed of a lot of m Audios line is a little sloppy from side
to side and the key corners are too sharp for manual key slides(tears at
the skin)
