Just needed the yellow text, i see one of these in my future 

I suggested that but it was impossible. The text is laser engraved so the colour is from the metal.

Is anyone able to say how good the midi out is while playing? Can you for instance, use it to trigger a sound module to play a piano sound?

Yes I posted clips during beta testing showing it triggering a DX7. Will be several pages back in this thread.

They definitely should have gone with your 'Petit Four' suggestion. 

 

Looks good, main thing for me was the v4 having improved accuracy and the option of speed/accuracy option (I didn't like the octave jump thing) so I was already tempted, smaller enclosure option is a bonus. 

 

Realistically, for a gigging pedalboard I don't actually mind the bigger version as my size 12 boots in a dark pub need a big area with plenty of room for stomping error....although I'm already considering what would fit well in that space saved if I go 'Petit', something like a Zvex Mastotron would fit nicely beneath it.

Sadly, I thought of it after they’d had the samples back from the manufacturer, but before everything was finalised, so I guess it would’ve been extra hassle to redesign it around that if they’d wanted to use it. It’ll have to remain an informal moniker.

 

Morningstar switcher should also fit nicely in the extra space.
