MOTM

from the article: "moog features a multiple touch sensitive keypad that 
lets a musician alter sounds by finger placement and movement. Rolling 
the finger forward can create one sound, rolling to the side can make 
another one, and poressing down, yet another" I got the impression this 
was going to be like a Korg Kaoss Pad, something to alter existing 
sounds. I will admit that this APwriter prob had no idea what he was 
reporting on, and may have mixed the facts. It's says he'll have it at 
NAMM so we'll see... -Nate
