The most responsive electronic playing surface on the market today

The Continuum Fingerboard has an exceptionally quick response time and is the most sensitive pressure resolution electronic music device on the market today. It is very different from your average Midi MPE touch-responsive keyboard or controller. These are some of the most important reasons it is a leader in its field:

1- When played, the Continuum has the ability to evaluate a high-speed stream of performance data, and among other things can effectively encode the complex trajectory of your finger attack. From a psychoacoustic perspective, getting the attack trajectory of your finger accurately scanned, measured and conveyed comprehensively to the sound engine is an essential ingredient for a real-time expressive playing experience.

2- The Continuum completes a scan of its entire playing surface every 330 microseconds. This surface evaluation speed is crucial for smooth, uninterrupted, organic playing.

3- The Continuum has pressure resolution of up to 15 bits for long sustained notes, allowing the detailed expression of tiny pressure-related timbre changes and accurate pitch trajectories in pressure-weighted portamentos.

All these unique technologies within the Continuum will give you an unparalleled playing experience, one which no other electronic music device on the market can match. For Midi communication to external devices, the Continuum can output MPE and MPE+, and can also be connected for control voltage output. However, we are not just another Midi MPE company. We are more than that, we are an instrument maker that crafts the closest thing to an acoustical experience in an electronic music device. This is achieved by using high-grade mechanical components, high-level sensing technologies and meticulous construction methodology, bringing the Continuum's playing surface, sound DSP and software together in a synergistic collaboration that no other electronic musical device can yet achieve.
