A couple of highlights:
I haven’t really been keeping up with this conversation; but if the developer is reading this thread by chance, and it hasn’t been addressed already, please include onboard MIDI channel filtering.
MPE functionality is useless alongside other MIDI gear if we can’t restrict which channels the MM2 is listening to. Thanks. 
Cheers!
And… I’m out. 
No MPE, no Host port, no MM2 for me. I don’t understand why synth manufacturers aren’t prioritizing MPE and catering to class-compliant controllers. Seriously, what hasn’t otherwise been done-to-death in synthesis at this point?
Expressive control is the way forward.
Cheers!
There’s a lot of discussion about MPE on the Facebook thread, sounds like a survey will be forthcoming on what to prioritise.
I’m not sure why this should be a priority for such an inexpensive synth, but one can just pick up the previous version I suppose.
I wonder what he means by “aggressively voiced”. Maybe it’s a heavier/more gritty sound?
Yeah I liked the sound of that
Really, really bummed he’s dropping the chorder. It was such a unique feature, and by far the thing I liked most about the original. I don’t understand why more synths don’t have one.
I’m still gonna get one 
Just need to get a Thru box I hadn’t planned on…
I’m watching this thread with interest even though I shouldn’t be
The micromonsta mk1 was one of the first lowcost available synths to have MPE
Ha, you beat me to it!..by a month 
Well, because it was the one truly unique and forward-thinking feature on the original; but it fell short of being useful because there was no onboard channel filtering.
MPE, while it remains somewhat misunderstood, is not really all that complicated to implement. Had the developer included a host port and put MPE higher on the priority list, the MM2 would be among the first of its kind.
Case in point, music is my job, I have the budget, and yet I’m still looking for a hardware MPE solution for the stage. It’s relatively low-hanging fruit for someone looking to define their synth.
Cheers!
Perhaps this is a wider question, but I wonder just how popular MPE is? In raw numbers. Most MPE advocates are quite vocal in their support but it always seems like a really vocal minority. I’ve never really tried it myself figuring I’d should be investing more time in the never ending quest to improve on what I currently play before adding to it.
Obviously, any answer that I could give to this question would be purely speculative and undoubtably biased. I am, however, tempted to cite this old adage: If Henry Ford had asked the people what they wanted, they’d have said “a faster horse”. 
That said, MPE is already ubiquitous, to the point where many people won’t even consider a soft-synth without it. To which end, most of the reputable soft-synths on the market have now implemented it, as have nearly all of the newer iOS synths.
Then there’s the hardware to consider: i.e. the Seaboard range from Roli has been wildly popular and successful; there is A LOT of hype around synths like the Super6, Hydrasynth, and Argon8; the Touché and its upcoming keyboard successor, the Osmose, have garnered much fanfare around here, etc. Never mind the more niche controllers like the Continnuum, Morph, or (my personal favourite and instrument of choice) the LinnStrument (which, by the way, wouldn’t be “niche” at all if more string players, like myself, were aware of what it could do for them, should they aspire to play synths!). Even polyphonic aftertouch is making a comeback amongst keyboard manufactures, in and effort to compete in the market of expressive control, without otherwise reinventing the wheel.
No, as I said earlier, MPE is the way forward, and I’m confident that it will become the norm. It’s the most exciting thing to happen to controllerism and electronic music in decades. Mark my words, in the not-so-distant future, any sound engine without it will be looked upon as being behind-the-times.
Now (and I promise I’m just jousting in good spirits here), as far as how MPE might be perceived within the EDM community—wherein many aspiring DJs and music producers have never actually played an instrument, and often don’t even understand music at its most basic level—I can see how the merits of MPE might get overlooked or otherwise undervalued. To that end, however, in my opinion, if music is to maintain any relevancy whatsoever to humanity going forward, that really needs to change; else we might as well just drop E and hand the keys to A.I. right now. 
But that is an entirely different and far more philosophical conversation…
Cheers!
P.S. Please excuse all the edits. Just trying to make an otherwise long-winded answer as concise as possible. I’m done now. 
Some fresh news from french forum :
Aluminium box, USB B powered, look between MM1 and Doctor A…
Not sure if 12 voices was mentioned here.
Source
He clarified on FB that there is an Arp, which is good for Digitone users…
Pleasantly surprised to see this about the LFOs:
LFOs can be free running, key triggered or per voice with optional one-shot for using them as additional envelopes
Always down for more mod matrix 
More modulation slots with more sources, negating the need for the MicroMonsta scalers
Cutting down on the arp/sequencer doesn’t really bother me as I can do that from the OT. The addition of FM and two timbres makes this little box pretty dreamy
In the FAQ he says “the sound engine is voiced more aggressively”.
Any idea what that means? Harsher tones?
Also really hoping the MM2 has the reversed display of the MM ‘winter blue’ edition, it’s much easier on the eyes i think
