wow, those look like some neat controllers for the price.

That big LCD display looks nice.

I wonder if it accepts CC feedback and/or SysEx sequences to send custom Text to it ? If yes, this would be an extremely good controller to use with Reason (after making a proper Remote Codec+Map for it)

man, I really need to stop lusting over controllers -.-' 8 should be enough by now (or start selling some on eBay).

still no manual to check the MIDI implementation and available SysEx sequences :(

I've been trying to resist the urge to buy an iPad, investing rather in getting more out of the gear I already have. Then I read something like "the innevitable integration of your iOS device." Ouch. You all really know how to hurt someone.
