No the Matrix referred is not me. It's this matrix obviously influenced by the movie.
That out of the way, anyone know more about that keytar?

    We need to come up with a better word than 'keytar.' That word sucks, it needs to be banned. A lap-steel guitar isn't a 'guit-board', is it? Let's have a contest or something, and come up with an alternative...

    Something about the basic shape, the LED display, and the left-hand controls makes me think it's a modified Lync LN-4. Based on the location of the outputs, though, it also might be a self-contained keyboard synth with audio outs.

    va69nm, in our band, we call keytar "the strap-on", which may or may no suite some people. :)

    An old joke, to be sure, but seriously...is there another strap-worn instrument that gets referred to popularly as a "strap-on??" Zappa referred to the remote keyboard as a "high-tech dork with a nozzle on it" in his autobiography. On the lighter side, Roland calls their AX-Synth a 'shoulder synthesizer,' which sounds like a rehabilitative medical device. What do you say, Matrix - let's get a poll going and see if we can restore some respect to the remote keyboard, and/or rename it something more dignified? It's not a 'guitar with keys', any more than an accordion is. Sorry for the rant...if you think that word is OK, it's certainly your right to use it. Back OT, that instrument in the video looks to me like a self-contained synth...neat concept, either way.
