<p class="MsoNormal">> From what I gather from the reviews and teardowns, it's a pretty slick piece of gear. The one thing I noticed was that you're buying into a bespoke ecosystem, with bespoke plugins, and possibly limited hardware resources. On the other
hand, that bespoke product is an MPC, and you don't want to do every single thing with a single piece of gear anyway.<br>

Yeah - that’s a good point, it was one of the cons of our discussion this morning, that - while it seems powerful - a lot of the demos we looked at were with plugins that were an extra cost.<br>
<br>
I wonder what they’re using for the plugin technology. Seems like a no-brainer to be using something like JUCE, especially given its ARM support is pretty good .. (Building LMN3-DAW in the background as I type..)<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, the KEYS 61 has been ordered and is on its way. Going to be interesting to review it. I probably won’t have access to it much, might borrow it for a weekend or so, but yeah .. seems like its going to be a lot of fun.<br>
