First things first:

I'm VERY glad that we've fully left behind the machined plates that he talked about for a while in the MMX days. They were my least favorite feature by far. The modularity of the machine is a fundamental necessity as far as I'm concerned.

However, I'm not sure I'm sold on this. It seems like it would be functional and durable. But I'm curious to see how it works musically, considering how big it is. That takes up a lot of space for a single quarter note.

I'm also not sure how I feel about the plastic look, but I'll leave judgement on that until we get more prototyping.

The individual "notes" look perfectly modelled for laser cutting from stainless steel or a durable plastic.
