Hi Gunnar,Yes, the new
KETRON FUSION looks interesting indeed.
The moment I glanced at the Scale Controls on the left of the keyboard panel, it reminded me of the Yamaha PSR-A5000 which caters to the oriental market.

Here is a demo.

Bartlomieg Krzeminski says the FUSION will be priced lower than the EVENT.
He tries to explain the differences highlighting all the Oriental sounds. The show attendee quickly shuts him off saying , โI really donโt care so much for that.โ
