Because with the continuum you can play notes that are not in the chromatic scale. The instrument has 3 axes an x axis (left to right) a y axis (up and down) and a z axis (pressure).

It depends what you mean by "basically a big touch pad". It is basically a big touch pad in the same way that MIDI keybaords are basically a bank of velocity-sensitive switches. But like there are important differences in how MIDI keybaords operate and feel, there are many details about the feel and operation of this "touch pad" that make it special.

Yeah... these sounds do,come from a secondary system, but he has an older one without the Kyma sounds onboard... and those onboard sounds are way more capable in the performance field than can be done over Midi on an external device,because the Continuum controller Software Editing program has been designed using different sounds at the "Trigger start" based on the Y axis before the Y axis resorts to its usual brilliance controller way ... The onboard sounds,(although in early stage) Rock...

For those talking about the high price, Haken (the guy who makes them) builds them in his basement and doesn't make a profit off of them, the internals are quite precise (so that it can register down to the millimeter) and without a production line it takes a lot of effort to make them.

I plug it in...and press the internal or midi presets as described on the Continuum overlay....The Z axis is usually Volume...the Y axis can be brighness or any other CC your midi synth can receive...Your X axis or pitch bend can be adjusted for your bend range on your receiving synth... If your synth is only capable of a 12 semitone bend, that is all the continuum can bend with it...every different finger is a different midi channel...so you should run a multitimbrael synth...

I haven't been able to FEEL the music in such a way before. this is coming from a person who listens to everything from ska to metal, grime, dubstep and DnB.

@Deathrape2001 the full size continuum is but the half size is more around 3k but it doesnt produce sounds by itself so youd need a rack mount synthesizer with the continuum as controller, i'd go for moog voyager rack mount which would mean overall would cost much more than 5k

true, but they already had a solution for this, the newer version of the continuum now have black bars just like a piano with ebonies. You can now determine whole-steps from semitones. oh, that big circuit board in jordan's back? that's a rendered synth, i have seen lives where he used it, he used it on an Octavarium live, he plays the song's synth solo with it.
@Deweak
17 жыл бұрын
Yep, and because of the large amount of MIDI messages sent for each note played on the Continuum, you can't use it with every synth. Jordan Rudess triggers a V-Synth (I've got one , too, and have nearly the same solo sound :-) ). This works great but Haaken doesn't give a compatibility chart to know which synths are ok with it.

Just because he uses it for leads doesn't mean that's all the continuum can do, it is an eztremely versatile controller that is capable of much more than a guitar... the appeal of the continuum to us keyboard players is similiar to the appeal of the pitch wheel... suddenly you've taken an instrument with constant, absolute pitch and given it the power of relative pitch, allowing for many different worlds of sound and a compeltely different feel to the way you play.

I remember the price for a full size one being $5,000. The sound is not fuckin horrible-I think it's kinda cool. Anyway, it's not a controller of any kind, it's a self contained unit of a sort and it's set up with a configuration similar to black and white keys on a piano, only you can alternate the volume of the notes depending on the amount of pressure you put on the surface (insert its technical name here) that comes in three different materials. JR demonstrates this in another video.

That's your opinion, and that's fine. I'll off-set what you say and comment how I think DT is collectively the most talented band I have ever seen, for any genre for any time period. A band of virtuso, beyond adept knowledge in theory, and creativity has never seemed to pure with any other band that I've come across. The music both moves me, challenges me, and moreover inspires me. I accept your opinion, you should accept mine.
