So uhm.. since I grew up in a music shop in the 80's, I thought I had a fairly good idea about all the important organ brands. WTH is that Japanese brand, supposedly starting with an 'A'?

Wouldn't that be "Acetone" - which later became Roland?

Mm, interesting.. would make sense. Roland was the only organ manufactor from JP I could mention. But iirc their Atelier line-up isn't exactly vintage.
Thanks

Yes, they look to be almost full width but stubby. Nine more hours.

More on the Korean Leak

So they would be similar to the third (solo) manual on D85:

Such keyboard is pretty playable

Because that's what people do here!

Complain about things that don't really matter to them and repeat things they read on the internet but don't actually know firsthand. But mostly just have a good cry.

I think the DX looks cool, four parameters able to be edited at a time, built in effects, graphical LCD for feedback; it's a nice step up from every other FM synth in terms of usability. The YC looks great too, I love the sound of the YC organs, don't love carrying them to gigs though.

Full width but stubby looks good to me, I have big hands so minikeys are too narrow for me to play without one-finger cluster chords.

The leaked specs of the CS tell there're two MIDI-connectors (mini-DIN in/out). However this pic shows one.

Can these connectors have a double purpose, e.g. becoming 'in' based on whether it ever receives MIDI-data?

I suppose it uses some kind of breakout cable to provide both in and out.

Ah, right, that makes sense again..

I read some rumors, that Reface instruments will be 399$ MSRP. If it's true (or close to the truth), I find it a bit high. But mayby it's just rumor. Probably we will know soon.

If you zoom into that pic you'll notice that it is not a standard 5 pin Din connector, so looks like it's gonna be a breakout cable indeed

probably the same one as the tenori-on used

Even Hitler flips out about mini-keys and 4-operator FM.
