 Q: Will there be a Kickstarter?

 Q: Why so much touchscreen?

Additive synthesis requires the control of a lot of variables. The graphical user interface on the FS-256 simplifies the input of these variables, and it is most effective using the dual display. It does increase the cost of the product, but its a tradeoff that was worth making.
