Maybe they really did just want to break it up. I mean really, most people were expecting a a4 keyboard. So to have that and then right away saying just kidding there is something else, 2 for one.

Yea it was an email from the late Daniel Hansson (from elektron) that confirmed my thoughts that the SFX6 was the one for me, and it was/is the most intuitive and productive machine I have ever used. I thought the A4 at first, was an analog monomachine. Then got turned off a bit by it, now though just watching the demo, the new keys is definitely an analog monomachine sfx6. That key/sequencer combo is a knockout when they are integrated. Crap, I was gonna stop buying big shit like this.
