Very cool.

I quite like the concept of the Atlier combo setup, although I've never been a Roland fan and have not auditioned one, so I cannot speak to the quality of sounds, feel, etc.

One of the things they did with this axe that I really like is implementation of thumb (or rail) pistons between the keyboards...which brings me to another thing they did that they did that I really like, which is the swell pedal (attached to the "optional" pedal clavier) with left and right programmable kick-switches. I noticed in the video that the thumb pistons (preset selector buttons) change without her pressing them. I suspect that one of the pedal kick-switches is set to advance presets, while the other triggers rotary-effect fast/slow.

Does anyone know of a company that manufactures a similar swell pedal? I'd love to have the option to trigger rotary as well as another MIDI parameter change from the swell. I know H/S makes a pedal for the XK3 with a single side switch (EXP 100F?), but am unaware of any others.

Peace,
Fox
