Thanks Donny,
yes we will keep you guys posted, we are really in the final sprint phase and the pieces of the puzzle are coming along nicely and will very soon bear their fruits.
As for user friendliness do not worry, some of the lionstracs people are musicians themselves and regularly play in piano bars and with bands so they know what the musicians want. Plus they are in contact with groups of keyboarders that are totally computer illiterate which help us to test the ease of use of the keyboard. The mediastation will be just as easy to use as any other keyboard, just a few orders of magnitude more flexible.
And as said we plan to build a big user community around the mediastation where users can directly talk to developers, contribute ideas AND code thanks to the open source development model.
This means that the software will constantly getting improved with maximum benefits for everyone.

cheers,
Benno
