Organizers of ContinuuCon 2023, an international expressive instrument conference that focuses on the Haken Continuum and other EaganMatrix Instruments, have announced that this year’s conference will be held May 17–19 in Palmela, Portugal.

Previous Continuum conferences have been held at IRCAM in Paris and in Asheville, North Carolina.

The focus of this year’s conference is expanding to include all electronic musical instruments that feature the Continuum’s internal sound engine, the EaganMatrix. This includes:

• The new Expressive E Osmose synthesizer;
• The Continuum Fingerboard;
• The ContinuuMini; and
• The EaganMatrix Module for Eurorack modular systems.

As in previous years, the conference offers attendees a chance to explore these uniquely expressive electronic instruments through presentations, performances, and hands-on experience.

ContinuuCon 2023 is timed to start on May 17th, four days after Superbooth ends in Berlin. This will make it possible for musicians to extend their European trip and experience both the latest in electronic music gear and the state-of-the-art in expressive electronic instruments.

Over the following two days, Continuum and Osmose experts and master musicians will present lectures and demos at the Palmela Public Library.

University of Illinois professor Dr. Lippold Haken and Canadian film and TV composer Edmund Eagan – developers of the EaganMatrix and the Continuum family of instruments – will be on hand throughout the event, along with Expressive E and other experts on expressive instruments.

Haken Continuum players include Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi, Brazilian electro-acoustic musician Amon Tobin, film composer A.R. Rahman, Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess, and The Who’s Pete Townshend. “I absolutely adore it,” explains Townshend. “The Continuum is already inspiring me to new ideas.”

In the latest synthlegends video is a head-to-head comparison of the sound of the new Sequential Trigon-6 and the classic Moog Minimoog.

While this isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison – the Trigon-6 is a polysynth that features a Moog-inspired voice architecture and the Minimoog Model D is a classic monophonic synth design – the video addresses a common question that many potential buyers have.

Video Summary:

“The TRIGON-6 has a similar architecture like a Minimoog Model D. There are 3 VCO with the same waveforms and a ladder filter.

The T-6 is polyphonic but in this video I played it in unison and tweaked some sounds to get it sounding similar to the Moog. The filter and resonance behavior are different and the oscillators in the Mini sound better IMO. In the T-6 they are a bit harsh whereas the Mini sounds more creamy. In some passages the synths sound very similar, so you can achieve moogish style sounds on the T-6.”

In this series of Korg videos, composer and synthesist David Mash leads a 7-part masterclass on the ARP 2600 synthesizer.

David Mash was involved with the reissue of the Korg ARP 2600 FS and the release of the ARP 2600m.

While the video features the Korg ARP 2600m, most of the discussion will apply equally to the original 2600 and its various copies.

Topics covered include an overview, patching, using the voltage processors, FM inputs to the VCOs, the sample and hold, the audio processor and more.
