Why is Korg "Shrinking Everything". Anyone else think they're going a bit overboard with this trend (which appears to be only theirs) of micro-sizing everything...??

I agree that they may have gone a bit overboard in this instance, but maybe it's because Korg's simply istening to what customers are wanting now.

Even our own Synthzone poll: 'what arr kb feature is most important to you' has got 'lightweight' receiving the higest number of votes, second only to 'reliability-after market support'.

Maybe in years to come manufacturers will listen to us gigging in the trenches daily players and realize having very lightweight, easy transportable, smaller units for gigging loaded with all the needed gigging features requested....Korg is starting to knock on the door, but I feel more attention is needed. Hey keyboard companies just ask us what WE want !

Well, this ain't what we asked for, by a LONG shot! Miniature keys? Give me a break! Until we have miniature fingers, how is this an improvement?

This is a toy for Linus, not a tool for a player! Good grief..!
