The layout looks good but I considered the sides of the keyboard a
bit odd with the round like shape. I also don't know why they made
the top slanted..? Better aerodynamic properties? I just hope they
would have done more traditional Hammond-like design of the casing as
well as the controllers... with the exception of the mod wheels. If
the price will be around $4000 I sure hope they'll build class A tube
preamplifier in it and one for percussion and straight sound as in
Hammond and with an expression pedal action likewise. (They should
contact Steve Hayes for assistance: seems that he could give some
valuable contribution to the sound...) Leslie output with a quiet
switching mechanism would be nice also and the leakage sound of the
V5 should have been corrected to respond to the keyrange. If it's
just a V5 stuffed inside a "futuristic" black case I wouldn't
consider it as very radical improvement..
