Just wondering if anyone has ordered one of these babies yet? Saw it for the first time on the Ellen Degeneres show Thursday. Found them on Ebay for Start bid at $109 and a by it now of $145. I listened to them play it on the talk show I mentioned... not bad, considering its portability. I will have one. I have had this idea in my head for several years. Finally someone made one. Pretty Cool! I'm fairly sure there is no velocity responce, as there is no key travel. However, to be able to carry a keyboard anywhere with you would be cool.

DNJ,

I would imagine the "Key Feel" is like a rubber mat... But what else would one expect, it is a rubber mat!

This is a great tool for all of those complaining about the Yamaha key feel:

Just play this for a while, and then your Yamaha keys will be heaven

Seriously, though, I wonder if the keys have any travel, if they recognize the strength of the press - I am assuming that you can press multilpe keys at once.

Also, does it have Midi Out?

I guess I'm a little surprised at how many people did not read the spec's on the webpage pertaining to this instrument. It is a rubber mat...It has MIDI...No key travel (rubber mat)
Pressure at most would allow for aftertouch, and that not likley. And in case anyone is wondering...NO SUSTAIN. But Still, Gotta admit it's a cool toy for the instant party!
