    Once you learn the personality of this controller it turns into a fabulous way to access sounds. I'm a windows user and I have a template in my Bandlab Cakewalk DAW that has all midi tracks, which can access all my synth hardware. Plug in the Artiphon by USB and it plays all synths.

    This MIDI instrument seems to be very hard to find. I'm a Guitar player and this seems perfect to have in my home studio. I'm going to Winston -Salem, NC soon , is there a store there that would have it ?

    This is exactly what I am looking for, why is this not available in Canada? I'll pay in USD and pay extra shipping, your Canadian website has nothing like this available and its very frustrating.

    Artiphon has a promotion to include a soft case when purchasing Instrument 1. Does Guitar Center has the same offer in July ?
