Diki, I don't think I understand your 'clone midi' suggestion. How would this differ from a flexible 76/88 controller and a module such as the Midjay or similar. Wouldn't it be better just to have more manufaturers produce modules to be used with great controllers (ie. lightweight, good keyfeel, ergonomic controls, etc.). Since it couldn't be this simple, I'm sure I'm missing something important here.

Along those lines, how about a nice purpose-built controller, specifically built to control 'arranger-type' functions across most manufaturer's lines. Maybe some of the newest ones already do, I dunno'.
