That controller is news to me, but it's inevitable that someone would jump on the display over every button idea once we showed it. And, to be fair, the Line 6 M9/M13 were the first ones I know of to use the RGB backlit displays. We're just using more of them.
I'm not too worried, the display-per-button thing is only one of the new ideas that will be on the GT. I may have to keep some other features quiet until we're closer to release!!!
Speaking of quiet, I haven't posted much here, but rest assured development is still going on! I've had to divide my attention between the GT and getting the Rack Gizmo released, but that's coming to an end. I have redesigned the whole GT (twice this year, actually) and finally have a design that I think is really going to work. Really nice displays, a great system for on-board editing (without a touch screen, but way better than the usual MIDI controller), way more connectivity than any controller has ever had, and of course great editor apps.
Stay tuned!
(Oh, and thanks for the news!)
