NEWS & NOTEWORTHY

Do you know what a Continuum is?

Designed by Dr. Lippold Haken and manufactured by Haken Audio, the Continuum Fingerboard is a Midi performance controller that allows unprecedented realtime musical control. With a greater pitch range than a traditional 88 note Midi keyboard, the Continuum offers realtime continuous control in three directions for every finger that is placed on the playing surface.

Included internally is a custom designed synthesizer, specifically programmed to take advantage of the subtle and dramatic expressive musical possibilities of the Continuum.

Lippold is the brother of Rudolf Haken, our next fanfare composer and second violin associate principal, Armgard Haken.
