A lot of boxes ticked, except no CV/gate out, like the Keystep or new Akai MIDI Plus.

Ugh, friggin autocorrect: “limited”, not “listed the velocity values.”

I don’t have an exact number but for me it worked more than 4 hours without extra power

If they are using the original DX7 patches I wonder if the glitches are related to how the first DX7 keyboard listed the velocity values to 100 or thereabouts, so a modern keybed outputting up to 127 could do some unexpected things.
