Haken Continuum Introduces Slim 21 Compact Continuum Synthesizer
Haken Audio has introduced the Slim 21, the latest addition to their Continuum Fingerboard line.
The Slim 21 Continuum offers the full engine and capabilities of their flagship Continuum expressive instrument, but with a smaller 21-note range. It’s based on the EaganMatrix Sound Engine, which has been designed specifically to deliver an expressiveness and immediacy that rivals traditional acoustic instruments.
The Continuum tracks each finger individually with microscopic accuracy, using up to 12 independent Hall-Effect sensors per finger. The analog output of each sensor is digitized by ultra-high speed A/D converters. A typical note played on the Continuum will have data from hundreds of thousands of Hall-Effect samples, allowing for exponentially more accuracy and sensitivity than traditional keyboards.
An in-depth overview and demo from composer Josh Madoff:
The Haken Audio Slim 21 is available now for $1,799 USD.
