Yamaha CS80

Heh, I'd be happy even if anybody including M-Audio would try the velocity-waveform that was implemented into the 80 , it really gives feeling to the playing...
As for the pitch control, David, you like Clavia's pitch stick? I always found that uncomfortable , surely less comfortable than a ribbon. In any case, there's a guy in Italy that produces ribbons with auto center-cs80 feature, and those can respond to aftertouch too; if you want to, look for at www.sknote.it  , its price is around 170 Euros..
Sorry for the occasional spam ;-)

  Laurie,

  that's a great idea. Unfortunately, I don't give it much of a chance, 
  but it's certainly worth trying since we have an "inside" via 
  Christian. I tried contacting Edirol/Roland and M-audio a while back 
  but didn't get anywhere. If Clavia would make a version of the Nord 
  Modular with poly aftertouch (and their pitch stick) I'd be in heaven...
