The interesting thing here isn't that it's "the most flexible", but rather that it has a genuinely interesting new user interface, with the finger-pressure thing. On the other hand, what does that do that can't be done with a regular midi keyboard with velocity and aftertouch (which is much more flexible in its own way)?

Synthesizers that can do "anything" are not a good target. They wind up with no distinctive voice of their own, and a muddled user interface. Brian Eno has spoken to that extensively, and it's one of the drivers of the modern modular movement - the desire to have an instrument that has its own voice, its own way of speaking, its own gestures to summon the sounds.

So anyway, this synth looks interesting, not because it's "the most flexible", but because it has its own way of doing things.

do you need PMC ( Polyphonic Multidimensional Controllers ) to play stuff like P'ungnyu Strings (Komungo)[1] ? Seems like this controller is more amenable to that.
