Yeah, I've been looking for the MEK on ebay with no luck! There's simply nothing out there with such wild specs. I expect to see more products coming up with this hybrid approach.
The Evolver series uses a Curtis based circuit for the filter, same kind that was used in the Mini Brute - even though each manufacturer gives it his own touch. Funny that we're talking about filter circuits again, uh?
Would be interesting to see Access pull something out for this new analogue race. Hybrid would be cool, but I feel there's a lot they could try and implement even on the digital waters before going for that. There's room for smaller projects, in the likes of Waldorf's Rocket, or the Korg's MonoTribe, and stuff like that, to test the analogue waters - if they were interested in that.
Waldorf is somehow much more daring and they are quickly growing their line of products. Even though, I'll say it again, would make sense to see something in the lines of the Q keyboard show up some time soon: I know the Blofeld is pretty intuitive, a close friend of mine has one and I've had the chance to use it, but there's folks here that really want the knobs! Specially for highly complex sound engines, such as the Blofeld. They could do something in the lines of the MEK to, would be interesting!
