The APC20 will be available from pro audio and musical instrument retailers in January 2010. It has a U.S. Retail Price of $299.00 and an estimated street price of $199.00
Initially I was pissed when I heard it wasn't a Tetra keys, BUT this MoPho can be Polychained to a Tetra for 5 voices. AND it's "knobby". AWESOME. They really got it right with this from a business stand-point by getting both those who wanted a Tetra keys and a Mopho keys with one unit. I will definitely be getting one of these instead of a Polar.
And, still on the topic of the MoPho keys, I saw in a video that they indeed have combined the envelopes, oscs, and a few other paramaters into knob sets selectable with buttons. That has never botehred me from a programming perspective so I'm all for it if it saves space and $$.
YAS, U HAS 2 B RICH 2 BY TAHT MUCH MONAYS ON A SYNTOSISR
Well dude, its a fairly simple looking beast and everyone complained about the arturia origin's price which was a similar price and a similar concept, but with more different modules. Just pointing that out.
AS far as comparison with the virus goes, 15 voices vs 80. Nuff said. I can see the appeal of the virus for building up huge layers, I can't see what your going to do with 15 voices really, unless each one is as good as a minimoog or something, which I doubt.

No mention of multitimbrality either..?
Lolz at everything uttered here. I don't know what instrument you're comparing the Virus to, but this is what you sound like :
"OMG a synth is useless without 80voices@!@! How can you possibly survive with ONLY 15???"
