Well, it's like a electric piano. It's a small bodied instrument, it has a full keyboard of 88 keys and a small function panel, which controls instruments about eight inches high that sits on top of the keyboard, what kind of sounds can you get out of it? Well, it's not set, it's not it's an additive synthesizer, and that you are working with given sounds, it'll produce any wave form that you can possibly imagine and program it to produce, and it'll produce eight of those at a time. What do you think is the most important aspect of the instrument? Well, actually, the most important aspect is the control that you can have over sound, you have more control with this instrument than any other instrument. But even more important than that, it's being developed as a performance instrument. It's to be used in performance not to make tape music or anything like that. It's polyphonic. It's as it's a true quadrophonic instrument, it puts out for this as many as four discrete sounds.

For example, well, acoustical instruments, it also will be able to imitate more accurately than any other instrument, but actually in this one keyboard instrument, you have an instrument that can replace all other keyboard instruments relatively easily. And if you think about hauling equipment around it becomes very important your opponent aspect. Of course, now there will be developed along with is what is called the research model. And the research model will be essentially developed for university use. It includes the ability to do what we call a traditional computer music, putting programs of music into a computer and having it organized the music or write the music or whatever. And plus the performance capability and this at about at a cost. It's far, far less than any other computer system and other developments which may come from and we're thinking about developing as a piano lab, which you can function as a piano lab during the day and as individual teaching laboratory situation for an evening when the lab is done.
