Default Novation XioSynth

Novation not too long ago announced the introduction of a budget-friendly midi controller/synth called the XioSynth:


It is priced around $325 U.S. which I might imagine would go down once mass released. It is basically a cheap (in price) subtractive synth that has midi control features much like the Remote SL on it. Seems pretty neat to me.

That looks pretty cool. A joystick, and a ribbon/pad thingy, and bunch of knobs, and a synth too! I like it because it looks very compact. If it has aftertouch, I could be sold on this.

I dont like the Novation joysticks. They're on springs that hold the stick at the extreme bottom, which i find counterintuitive and..well, i just think it sucks.
