With Tastenpoint also developing styles specifically for Lionstracs keyboards, everything is moving in the right direction too which will open these keyboards up to arranger users who have no programming abilities whatsoever, and to allow them to take complete advantage of OPEN technology in a way they cannot imagine right now. As well as take advantage of all the work advanced users are doing.

There's a subject that has received little discussion here too which is very important. The level of integration and how Lionstracs make the “PC” totally seamless and transparent. It is quite amazing and anyone who thinks a Laptop or a DAW can compare on that level is sadly mistaken.

This is certainly the future of keyboards. When I think that an Audya can cost a lot more and only come with 64MB of sample RAM, it's hard not to start hating on closed keyboards. With Lionstracs there's always that "can do, will do" attitude which is a refreshing change from how keyboards have always worked.
