^The video being all hypey and hipstery annoyed me, so I had to fast forward through it.
It's basically just a flashy synth with a mic and some effects for it?
Or is there something genuinely exciting about this thing?

Motion control, mainly. There is a serious lack of good videos on the thing, unfortunately.

It looks like it's capable of a whole lot of **** though, which makes it alright in my book.

Motion control's cool.
Yeah, I'd love to see a vid of someone actually playing it for 3 minutes, instead of some guys going "woah" for 15 and intersped with short snippets of "playing" where you have no idea what's happening and where the sounds come from. Hate that manipulative approach.

Another annoying ass commercial. Someone should do this with the synthesizer, and put some knobs on the top of the urinal.

The Harpejji:


There's some YT footage of Stevie Wonder playing one, but the sound quality wasn't as good.
Plus, Stevie doesn't seem to be as proficient as that ^ guy.
