Want a Yamaha CS-80 cheap?

There's nothing special about being able to receive and respond to poly AT... plenty of boards/modules/VSTs do, it's no more difficult to implement than regular AT. The trick is on the keyboard side, generating the poly AT in the first place.

I've only found one that's currently "available", and it's currently sold out. http://vaxmidi.com/

Yes, boards that send poly AT are few and far between. Here are some others:

I'm not at all blown away at the thought of a Mellotron, even with polyphonic aftertouch. (I thought the original was just on/off, like an organ. What in tarnation is the aftertouch used for?)

On the other hand, the xkey is pretty cheap. Yeah, it's only three octaves, but this is a pretty esoteric keyboard anyway.

Thanks, you may have just saved me some money and lots of time putting together a keyboard.

I'll stick with Arturia's CS-80 V.
