Bizarre humor Brian. I like the way your mind works ;>

I'm ready to lend my legal expertise to this venture. OK, so I've
never engineered a commercial transaction in my professional life. I
think that qualifies me perfectly for this motley crew of dreamers.

But seriously, my idea for an innovation that might work is a
two-tiered controller. Organ action, plagiarized from the CX-3 on
top, piano-like action, plagiarized from, oh, something good, on
bottom. 73 weighted keys. Almost no one uses the upper end for
electric music, its not worth the weight, space, or cose. Keyboards
as close to each other as practicable. B-3-like controls on top, with
assignable controllers. Some assignable buttons and sliders for the
weighted keys. Pedal inputs, etc. One unit, compact, weighing under
or close to 50 lbs. Its very doable. Probably not a sufficient
market that any company would take it on, but there are many players
who would love it. Of course you could put sounds in it, but then the
price climbs steeply. So, utility of this of course depends on there
being suitable modules. If the Electro comes out as a module, that
could be perfect.
