It is not just a synth, but an entire system, with 128 oscillators, 64 filters, with room for 16384 presets in the board database. With a matrix with 120 parameters for each of the 16 layers and 96 system parameters to play with to even the most demanding sound designer have enough opportunities. With so many options were people behind Key2Sound aware that this required a completely new user interface if it could be used by ordinary mortals so they have designed a box that can stand on top of a mother keyboard. This is controlled via four swivel wheels and a big 16x9 screen.

Anyone remember this one? It looks familiar but I couldn't find a prior post. Wikepia has some interesting info: "Goodiepal or Gæoudjiparl van den Dobbelsteen, whose real name is Parl Kristian Bjørn Vester, is a controversial Danish/Faroese musician/composer wanted by the Danish police authorities for an unsolved theft from the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus.[1] [2] The eccentric and self-made Goodiepal has influenced the course of modern music through radical excursions into computer technology and media art. He performs and lectures about his work and ideas worldwide and has so far done about 150 universities around the world according to the Danish newspager Information.[3] Until recently he has been employed as a teacher at DIEM (Danish Institute for Electro-acoustic Music) at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, Denmark. Goodiepal declared intellectual war against the stupidity in modern computer music and media art, which is to say against The Royal Academy of Music, when he quit the job in 2008. As per 2010 he lives somewhere in Denmark or Scotland...
In continuation of his dealings with the unsuccessful synthesizer manufacturer Key2Sound, working without any payment, Goodiepal decided to take action by hiding an unnamed piece of music in the system source code of a prototype called INetSynth. The prototype and source code were then brought up for auction offering the head of Key2Sound a veto-price of 10 Danish kroner, if he wanted his prototype back. Through this act, Goodiepal reclaimed a symbolic fee for the work he had done for Key2sound, and since they did not respond, the INetSynth, with tag, went to an unknown Dutch collector.[26]"
via Wired: "RJD2 likes to build sounds.
'To have a piece of plastic with a bunch of copper traces on it and then drill some holes in a piece of sheet metal and silkscreen it, then you wire this whole thing up and send some voltage through it — I know this might sound silly, but that's the most fascinating and addicting process you can possibly imagine,' RJD2 told Wired.com by phone, discussing his process."
