Launchpad sounds like there live performance answer to Ableton Live. It can be impressive to create a loop of a 50's song in front of the crowd. If you can layer vocals and keys, that could be a cool tool.

Yamaha and Korg should take note. Instead of cutting the quality of key feel or slowly introducing small upgrades, be innovative and give more "cool" things to create music! Support it and sell more!!

Now, Ketron has to get it to market with these functions in full working order. They also need to continue to support it into the next 5 plus years. It looks great but it needs to be close in quality to have a chance!!
