Slim Continuum S46L6x : Top quality and versatile expressive synth

The Haken Continuum is definitely an A-grade instrument. I've only scratched the surface of what's possible thus far, but I found the fingerboard to be immediately intuitive (albeit requiring practice). The synth engine is a bit less user-friendly at first glance, but is hugely versatile - and the preset sounds are stunning as a place to start.

My initial impression is that the fingerboard isn't particularly effective as a midi controller for 3rd party VSTs. So you would buy this fingerboard for its synth engine and sound design capabilities, rather than as a MIDI controller for orchestral (etc) instruments.

It is WAY more expensive than similar fingerboards, so is definitely an investment.
