Mystery Synth

This one in via Neno. Disclaimer: before anyone starts thinking MATRIXSYNTH is their personal posting place for any question they might have, this one is going up for one reason alone. This is about a synth I can't quite place and it needs to be in the archives. Joel went through the custom and DIY labels and came up dry after about 20 minutes of searching. I took a quick peak and guessed some of the obvious like Open Labs's gear, but it wasn't them. The following is a brief description. If you have any idea, please comment.

Note this is actually via Neno's friend Volken on the musicplayer forum:

"I’m talking about custom crafted (88 keys) master keyboard with computer keyboard and trackball physically built into this shape. They had both Mac or PC onboard (to best of my recollection) as customer’s choice of preferred platform. I’m certain they have some aero/industrial background because implementation was rather impressive considering build quality and materials used. Since yesterday, wanted to check their present offer and alas... without a trace"

and via Neno: "Manufacturer with Aircraft expertise who was making 88 note master keyboard that serve both as DAW with - customer choice - either Mac or PC inside. Unique paint looks and very lab grade materials."

Update: Mystery Synth Solved! Tracked down by Volken and Neno. The synth is the Infinity Music Systems X1 Workstation.
