Is this just a spaceship beats version of their last workstation keyboards they came out with last year?

I don't know. My total time with that model was about 3 minutes and I haven't looked anything up so I have no opinion. :p Based on the specs I read, it seemed pretty good for the price, assuming the build quality stands up to some travel and abuse.

I have a xw g1 synth ,it is great for the "last stock"-giveaway price but if anyone wants realistic sounds or fat synths , I would recommend something else (but much more expensive).
But as a groovebox the synth engine is overkill. :D

I found some info:

Number of Samples = 36 user samples

User Samples:
LONG SAMPLING (Up to 9 seconds x 4),
SHORT SAMPLING (Up to 3 seconds x 32)

Sampling Frequency
42 kHz, Monaural

a little disappointed, but I think it will fit to market as hybrid synth/groovebox.

@mr.thraz from your picture i noticed no hardware midi (maybe only trough sub?)...no rca I/O...all this doesn't sounds great neither cool to me...
anyway is the manual out?

edit
it seems still no manual, but form casio sit i see the specs, and there are interestings features like phrase and step seq, audio slice (chops?), velocity pads and others...
