V-studio or...this?????

Ya know I'm not a big fan of Pr0 T00l5 and every now and then Diggee-dezine reminds me why...

Sonar/Roland offer a control surface, that frankly means you don't really need a mouse, does the A/D D/A thingy and much much more (apparently even able to destroy small planets or somthing)...

So digi comes out with another desk-flop surface thingy that is roughly only $5.00 less (current reatil suggest this unit will cost $3995.00) and here's what it does:

Its a computer keyboard you get to choose the keys for and then you can set your coffee mug on it because that is apparently all the new control surface does, it doesn't even provide a mouse...

Anyone dumb enough to shell over for this deserves what they get...


At any rate I found this at a thread at GS it might be a joke but some of the guys are saying it really is the price...its apparently not available yet...I'm sure the economy will sky-rocket once this thing is released...
