So it's velocity sensitive under the hood, just not via the pads.  Cool.
That's good to know.  It's not something mentioned in the online blurbs, 
and
I suppose you'd only discover it by actually doing it.  Or maybe the manual
mentions it.  The Electribes are heavy on step sequencing, or cater a lot 
to
that crowd.  So, I could just use my MP-7 as the midi controller, couldn't
I?  Sweet.  I've got one eye on those ESX-1's and that makes them a lot 
more
appealing now.

You have experience with this, right?  Straight-up velocity sensitivity 
when
using a midi controller for input?

You can always play/program it with a small velocity sensitive keyboard.
