Have you seen that, dudes ?

...details on the middle of the page, but...
can someone translate the features ?

they seem to be slightly different from the vmk-88.

Finally, I'm glad I haven't rush into buying the keystation pro 88

Wow, that looks allright. Nice to have the sliders a bit more to the left of the board. I wish someone would do a 76 key usb controller though!

No need to translate.

This webpage has the same information in english for you

The russian page also says this has the same type of keys as SL-880 Pro.

I'll just say something:
Beware of a modulation joystick! Those return to middle position automatically which IMO makes no sense at all, considering what modulation is (and can be) used for very often.
Think N.I.'s B4 - Modulation is used to switch between slow and fast Leslie. Wóuld you really like to keep some sort of joystick pressed all the time just to have the Leslie running fast? The same goes for modulations controlling any sort of filter sweeps - sometiomes you just want to keep them opened.
Also, controlling pitch and modulation with a joystick, you certainly can do some weird widdlings, but most often I prefer having decent control over them.

Yes, I know you can assign modulation to another slider on controller keyboards - but it's just not the same as using a good old standard ModWheel, sitting just next to your PitchWheel.
