This piece is the first one I have composed playing my Opal Chameleon, arrived only one week ago. Considering that the serial number of mine is 001 it could be the first one ever composed using it!!!!

Did you get the version with weighted keys? I'm dying to know
how they work. -Carl

:-)
yes Carl, I got that one! I must say I was expecting a key action closer to that of a digital piano. It is lighter also because the key is much smaller than on pianos but still expressive and of course, velocity and weight are programmable.
A lovely instrument!

Programmable, eh? So it's magnetic? There'd be no way to fit
a real weighted mechanism, that I could see... -Carl

no Carl,
maybe I did not express myself correctly.

key sensitivity is programmable.

Carlo,

I love it....you show your usual mastery of atmosphere and color here.
Bravo! I love the little bits of 'ear candy' you throw at us...like the
wind-chime like touches.
