Here at MESSE we were able to get a look at the new synthesizer keyboard the Dominion 1 and the Tanzbär drum machine from MFB.
The Dominion 1 is a three oscillator mono synth with lots of modulation routing and very easy integration with modular as it has a pretty extensive patch bay. And as you can control each oscillator with external CV as well you can get paraphonic operation. Not full polyphony as all three oscillators will be through the same filter. The keyboard even has aftertouch, on a mono synth!!! Nick was particularly happy about that.
The Tanzbär (google translation dancing bear) is an analogue drum machine with 16 instruments, a 16 step sequencer and lots more features.

Developments for Korg's instrument have been slow but promising.
