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.

@mr.thraz
i think FreshSerfPro use one of this casio workstation, i saw it in his signature, you could ask him

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.

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.

i wonder what "User Samples" means?

it has plenty of connectivity. but no place for cards to exspand your sample memory.

their keyboards with the same engine has 64 voices at least.

@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...
