Haken Slim 21 Continuum Synthesizer In-Depth Review
Host Ziv Eliraz – in his latest loopop video – reviews the Haken Slim 21 Continuum, a smaller and more affordable version of what some consider the most expressive and powerful synthesizer ever made.
The Slim 21 Continuum offers the full engine and capabilities of Haken’s 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.
The Haken Audio Slim 21 is available now for $1,799 USD.
