Its a copy of the monome 256, but this thing has sound synths built in. For the money I would much rather have the 256 because of its open programing. then you could use it for most anything and yamaha seems to have this thing all sorts of locked up. really kind of lame but would make you the hit at the part until someone comes in with a monome and a laptop and shows you what he can do... take a look at the press cafe app

No, why would you think that?
Well it's closer to implementation to Korg Kaossilator which is also loads of fun, a lot cheaper (under $200), but smaller and a lot less blinken.
