An operating system that doesn't look like an octopus with his tentacles tied in a knot. To be fair, whether you like the touchscreen or not, the MODX line is the most approachable design they've released in years.

Badass soft synths... Like modern, SY-grade soft synths.

 

Someday when I have more room I'll snag a '77 (SY or TG).

A keyboard with release velocity as a mod source.

 

I still have a couple modules I keep around from them - an EX5R, and a Motif ES rack with AN and DX plg boards.

 

I won't buy any more keyboards from them though for the reason stated above.

A firmware update for the Montage that adds a full sequencer, sampler & AN1X engine. If your gonna dream dream big right? :)

 

I'd settle just for a sequencer and full midi implementation. :taz::deadhorse:

A full-size keys, 4 octave version of the Reface CP (with minimal width).

 

That's a decent idea... 3 octaves is too little.

 

I would also can the "Toy Piano" preset (useless), and add a decent, non-easter egg AP to compete with the Roland Go Piano.

Sweet idea... 128-note polyphony, breath controller input, a big screen (or a badass PC/Mac/iOS editor/librarian), and a good velocity/aftertouch synth action. $1,499 MSRP...

I had to buy an RD800 to come close.
