Filmed at her wedding of all places, still waiting on a live version. A song to her Daughter who is in the video (interestingly Sven and Torbjorn fro Royksopp also make cameos) -
Arguably it was eclipsed by it's predecessor rack units that had the monitor output, love using my S330 with a monitor and mouse, plus as they'll output a SCART compatible output with a passive adaptor lead the colour output can easily be fed into a modern screen/TV. I use a cheap 22" LED LCD TV I got ages ago from the local supermarket or an RGB SCART to HDMI adaptor. The GEM S2 is my secret sauce instrument, the amazing keybed and good sound engine plus it's an excellent MIDI controller.

Something a bit interesting as they had their own custom instrument that became a big part of their live set, made so that the four of them could tour without extra musicians. Made by their lead singer/founder and supposedly consisted of back to back pianos, a glockenspiel type device played with doorbell mechanisms, organ and synth (there's a chopped Odyssey and 2600 in the videos) all controlled by the piano keyboard plus an extra keyboard on the "bass" side. -
I believe the piece of music used for the Grammy's event was recorded in Stevie Wonder's studio and Howard got to have a jam with Stevie. Also Howard supposedly had quite a few KX5's over the years and only stopped using them when failures became an issue and he switched to the new Korg one, he liked the smaller keys as he felt they worked better for a keytar.

What are the most iconic "looking" (not sounding) keyboards?

Susanne Sundfør - Mountaineers, What's up with Scandinavians and talent just not fair! -
The atrophy modes sure look interesting and appear to be customisable unlike the Sequential vintage knob.

Theres a few for me, starting with the Generalmusic Promega 3, the slanted front panel just makes it look classy. GEM/Generalmusic S Series, love my S2 and the "flush" front panel is a great design decision, difficult to break off a knob or slider, and the unique pitch/mod wheels. The Technics PX-1, one of the first sampled digital pianos Roland RD-1000, a fairly common early digital piano, one of the first good ones, looks so sleek with it's stand and pedal power supply. The Hohner ADAM looks pretty interesting, Something I own, the Motif XS line with it's beautiful duck egg blue colour scheme rather than the more common silver or black, and naturally the DX1 with it's displays. -
Behringer have another tiny mixer which is powered over USB the 302USB https://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_xenyx_302_usb.htm. The Flow8's use of standard USB does mean, however, that it has a separate USB connections for power and for the audio interface, so no one lead power/audio. It's probably because it's current draw is more than what most computer USB ports can supply.

And, of course, Poly AT's big advantage is it can still be fully used on split keyboard setup, whereas mono AT has no idea which part of the keyboard is activating the aftertouch so even if you only wanted it to affect the top section of they keyboard and have it turned off on the bottom section if you inadvertently activate the aftertouch when playing the bottom section it will still affect the top section. Handy on keyboards like the S2 where you can have up to 16 keyboard zones.
