BOOM!

Hmmm... 49 note keyboard?

You know I’ve actually grown to enjoy the 49 note keyboards on certain synths but I do agree for this synth and it’s capabilities it a bit cramped. I would actually like to see 76 notes.

It’s only a prototype so who knows, they may extend the keybed.

As someone who primarily plays guitar, I appreciated that one...  :)

Looking at the video, I think that the 49 key keybed is just a temporary measure until they get things sorted out.  Notice also that there is room on the left for as yet developed left hand controls.  This synth really is better suited for a 61 key action.

Bah...go 71 key just like the PolyMoog.

So Moog One competition.  That’s a set of cahones... jumping into that competition.

Lobo said he paid that kind of money (Canadian) for his PX, so I'm guessing he means more in the four grand range in USD, which would be the max I'd say. Really the three range if they want to be competitive, but either way, it certainly sounds nice.

It really looks like a direct competitor to The River. I can't tell from that video if it will really hold up, sound-wise.
Prophet 12, Modal 002, MFB Dominion 1, Behringer DeepMind 12D, Korg Polysix & EX-8000, Roland JX-8P, Ensoniq SQ-80, Kawai K3m and now an OB-6!
