I like how the website of the continuum fingerboard says that you can use between one and SIXTEEN fingers simulateously :lol:

Me thinks I'll need to grow more fingers to take full advantage of it. Mabye they could drop the price a bit for a 10 fingered version.

But seriously it is a nice bit of kit ...

I think I'll need to renew my puremagnetik subscription while I am at it ... this pack looks tasty

This is a pack for the current version of Live 7. What indicates that it is for Live 8?
Sorry, I guess I was wrong, don“t how I got that.

The continuum is definitely a very powerful control surface - and IMO, you get what you pay for (unlike many boutique items).

Did you get a chance to check out the Kyma demos on the symbolic sound site?
This is one of my favs: http://www.carlascaletti.com/pmwiki/pub ... pStick.mov

yes pretty cool. It is definitely a very expressive piece of gear. If only I had the time and money (and talent) ...

On a side note her site is pretty cool. I like her ideas about 'sonically' extracting information from complex data sets. Something I have though about a lot myself. I am a chemist in my dayjob (you might gather that if you look at my youtube link blow), and I often work with exceedingly complicated data sets were I need to extract small signals from background noise (3D NMR, GC-MS-MS, etc.). I'm sure that if I could find a way to sonically analyse the data, I would be able to 'hear' the signals ... the ears are such amazing instruments really ...

Anyway, sorry for the digression, I simply found her ideas interesting. Thanks for the link
