Chances of a compact S37 keyboard

Seems like leaving a lot of prosumer money on the table but that’s ok. I’ll just get a hydrasynth explorer and deal with the added work, at least presets on there can be named and saved for midi controls and I get an extra full instrument to play with for less money.

I’d never have guessed a huge corporation doesn’t care what decision I make with my money 😆. That was more just as an update for you since you had responded, rather than leaving the thread on a cliffhanger. I appreciated your grounded suggestions.

I was in an accident years ago and can’t work at a desk either standing or sitting. I have to work in an awkward position where I can mostly lay down and have the instrument propped on my lap. It’s a special circumstance. It’s just not workable with a keyboard that big.

Obviously not what I was hoping for, the hydra synth explorer gives me a more useable 37 key midi controller than the minifreak I’m using right now(or other 3rd party controllers); thanks to the knob screens allowing you to label the midi parameters and save them for each vst.

From a business perspective I guess in my head the features that the S Series has over the other series is the lights which really are more of a nice to have or important if you can’t look at the computer screen and the screens for selecting instruments. I see those in a professional setting not being important but for a hobbyist/prosumer attractive, that’s why I figured they make a 37 key as has enough keys for that market and easier to store in a non-studio setting. Assuming a big part of the S Series is also to sell more Komplete packages, the mark up over the m32 and that the prosumer/hobbyist market is considerably larger than the pro market it seems like a missed opportunity.
