It seems to me that almost every non-software item that I look up at actual store retailers is not in stock and has been that way for some time. Now I'm not sure if its the C word, the B word, a combination of the two or just that retailers are having to cut back on stock due to finances and having to keep closing their stores.
I'm thinking that a it's maybe a way of picking up a lot more upgraders for a new version as I doubt that it sold as well as their synths. Very nice for free/cheapish but I never considered it to be worth the full price.
I avoided them for years because installing the PACE/iLok software way back when did indeed present me with lots of problems that I didn't have beforehand that magically disappeared as soon as I uninstalled it. I was persuaded a few years back to try again as the PACE software was ok now, so I did and everything works as it should on win 7, so I guess it must be a win 10 issue.
This has a very cinematic quality to it - I could easily imagine this set to some kind of slo-mo dream sequence / memory / recap scene. I do like textural pieces, though some can be a bit boring to me if they go on too long, but you managed to keep it interesting.
The thing that I have noticed in a few videos is how noisy the keys seem to be on the 88 version . Not seen one in the flesh, so don't know if this is true or just somehow exaggerated by the sound capture on the video.
