From the C&G forum:
some more details about the ONDA:
The main idea of the ONDA is to lower the barrier of entry for artists, musicians, educators, experimenters and hackers who want to wade into real time music programming.
…so it will be priced below the Organelle, although we don’t know exact pricing at this time. (and for what it is worth: we don’t have a release date)
The ONDA is not meant to replace the Organelle. It is a branch on the Critter & Guitari tree (not pole). We are still excited about the Organelle’s potential, especially the new developments around the Orac system!
As the ONDA hopefully draws more users into the fun of making patches, it is also a way for us to experiment with ideas for future instruments…
Some other specs:
Runs on 4 AA batteries. Using rechargeable batteries gives over 4 hours play time… this will obviously also depend on CPU load and speaker volume.

probably other things I’ve forgotten! Thanks for all the enthusiasm and support!
