Goods news from Haken Audio... NEW FROM HAKEN AUDIO: The ContinuuMini The ContinuuMini shares some features with the Continuum Fingerboard but is less expenstve: (1) Temporal Accuracy - 700^Sec (NB: mechanical feel of the Mini is quite different). (2) Pressure Sensitivity - Halt effect sensors (uses only four; has lesser dynamic range). (3) Onset Fine Structure - Reports attack trajectory, not just a 7-bit "strike" value. (4) Pitch Sensitivity - Can roll fingers for super-fine pitch adjustments. (5) EaganMatrix Synthesis - Tight timbre feedback loop (ideally, customize presets for Mini) The ContinuuMini's polyphony and computation power is the same as a L2x Continuum. The ContinuuMini provides duotactic play, with a pitch reference display for each note. Narrow body allows multiple units (multiple manuals, as is done on Trautonium). Standalone preset selection and parameter modification is possible via a 4-button menu interface. Standalone operating instructions are inclu...

I'm all sorts of excited about the new Monome device. It seems similar in some ways to the Organelle. I'll be watching this thread with a lot of interest over the next week! https://llllllll.co/t/approaching-norns/13236/126?u=gonecaving

Has anybody tried using the iPad Synth Volt with the Eigenharp? http://cdm.link/newswires/volt-1-1-brings-even-more-goodness-to-this-fully-featured-mpe-enabled-synth-app/ http://cdm.link/newswires/volt-1-1-brings-even-more-goodness-to-this-fully-featured-mpe-enabled-synth-app/

This launched today on kickstarter... might make sense for a couple of reasons. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/smashmouseusa/smashmouse-universal-pedal-for-hands-free-computer# https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/smashmouseusa/smashmouse-universal-pedal-for-hands-free-computer#

Looks interesting - a ring that measures your hand position and thus adds 3d expression capabilities to any keyboard. (Might also be interesting to experiment with that, an Eigenharp and a violin bow :) ) Has anybody played with this at one of the previous music gear exhibitions? Haven't found a homepage, they run a Kickstarter atm though: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1618180096/neova-a-unique-connected-ring-for-musicians https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1618180096/neova-a-unique-connected-ring-for-musicians?lang=de

I am wondering if there is any updated doc anywhere on the agents in the community version of eigend? There have been a whole lot of agents added, but many of them are a complete mystery to me - what they do, how to confiture them, and so on. Like, what does the live pad agent do? What do the controls mean? I see an ableton push agent, but it has no parameters to edit, so how does it get used? I can't find any doc on most of these, and sadly there are no readme files in the source dirs that provide clues, nor can I find anything online that lists these. Is there a documentation resource I am missing?

Hello - I am looking for an Eigenharp performer in London for an event at an art gallery. Please could you get in touch with me directly if you are interested/know of anyone who you would recommend. My email is azadeh [at] lync [dot] events

Anyone know if I can set channel on a wire from belcanto? I prefer typing up my setups in belcanto to using workbench, but I don’t know how to do that. Also, can I set midi device in a midi output agent from belcanto? I’d like to toggle between two devices with a talker.
