    We don't believe in the star system. We want the focus to be on the music. If we have to create an image, it must be an artificial image. That combination hides our physicality and also shows our view of the star system. It is not a compromise-daftpunk

    and if you read the description it gets more interesting,
    It sends all key commands and no MIDI, which lets you do a lot of things no other controller can
    i found it over on the abletonlivedj forum, in case you want to follow down more info.

    No knobs or sliders? That's not good.

    i guess it depends on how you use it, or if you use it with an external mixer.

    I wish i had the time to work on a project like that!

    Agreed, it is a cool controller though. But I am missing some knobs and sliders.

    It`s an extended keyboard, not a MIDI controller.
    Cannot compare the two.

    Midi can do everything keystrokes can do easily just by using a midi to keyboard stroke program like Bomes *shugs* so its no more powerful at all.
