[Noisebridge-discuss] Broken digital piano available for tinkering

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi,

I have two of these back in Perth. They're great to play! The only
downside is the internal piano synth is only 16 note polyphonic. So if
you want to play any complicated piano pieces be sure to acquire an
external MIDI synth with more polyphony.
