Future Retro - 512 touch keyboard Overview - US $800
Play 16 Monophonic synths, poly-phonically
In this video we will discuss the features of the 512 keyboard and how to use them. Including getting started with connections, selecting scales, scale mapping, writing scales, using the Hold function, selecting and writing chords, chord inversions, using linear, octave, and scalar transpositions, setting the MIDI channel, velocity curves, aftertouch curves, bend range, turning aftertouch off/on, and even touch on the Poly mode.
Other tutorials will cover the arpeggiator, sequencer, MIDI to CV conversion, and MIDI to MIDI conversion.
Arpeggiator
There are 16 notes with 29 user-definable rhythm patterns. Each step has a duration, sustain, glide and velocity value. You have 5 directions and up to 4 octaves of movement. You can trigger as played or hit the Hold button to keep it all going while you fiddle elsewhere. And while in hold, all other parameters are available without missing a beat. So you could change scales, add chords, add pitch bend or modulation, change patterns and MIDI channels.
Sequencer
They liken the 512 Touch sequencer to the Roland SH-101, at least in terms of simplicity. The functionality goes a lot further, though. There are 145 user patterns of up to 64 steps and then it works exactly like the arpeggiator with the 5 directions and parameter access during playback.
MIDI to CV Conversion
The 512 Touch will convert MIDI note, pitch, bend, mod wheel, velocity, aftertouch and clock to CV/Gate. You can then pump this into your analogue gear. The 512 Touch can also merge MIDI on top of what’s coming in. So maybe your DAW is kicking out a sequence that is being routed to the 512. You can add mod wheel and pitch bend to the incoming MIDI and have it all converted to CV and routed to the analogue synth. It has some other tricks too, like the ability to restrict incoming MIDI to specific scales. But perhaps most interesting is the Poly MIDI mode where notes played on the keyboard or from an external device/DAW/sequencer can be intelligently routed to different MIDI channels. This allows you to control up to 16 monophonic instruments from one performance.

Wow!
Analog + iOS would be awesome like this:
And the Arpeggiator looks very good:
