Furniture designers rejoice! Musicians? Well, maybe not so...

64 voice polyphony, only three vel-layers, only ten other sounds.

Just one more example of style over substance. IMO.

Gotta agree with you there, Diki...some people hear with their eyes.

Strangely enough, the Modus F01 has been quite a sales success.

I was disappointed in the 64 note polyphony, and in spite of the limit of three velocity layers, the instrument has a wicked piano sound, and the action is definitely deluxe.

I used to call it the "fireplace with keys"...it's not my idea of a looker.
