82-489: A pitch range of 9350 cents (about 7.79 octaves ) for the full-size instrument, and 4610 cents (about 3.84 octaves) for the half-size instrument. The instrument has a response time of 0.33 ms . Sensors under the playing surface respond to finger position and pressure in three dimensions and provide pitch resolution of one-tenth cent along the length of the scale (the X dimension), allowing essentially continuous pitch control for portamento effects and notes that are not in

533-514: A change in amplitude . The Continuum is capable of polyphonic performance, with up to 16 simultaneous voices. Each recent revision has brought more features and sound diversity to the internal synthesizer in the Continuum Fingerboard. As such, the instrument can now be considered both a controller and a stand-alone instrument. As of 2008, the Continuum Fingerboard has a new modular digital synthesizer built-in, specifically designed for

A software "rounding" feature enables pitch to be quantized to the notes of a traditional equal-tempered scale , just scale or other scale to facilitate in-tune performance, with the amount and duration of the "rounding" controllable in real time. The Continuum also provides two additional parameters for

The patching matrix interconnects a variety of modules: oscillator , filter , delay , modulation , waveshaping , spectral manipulation , modal physical modeling , waveguide physical modeling , kinetic modeling , granulation , and shape generator . Each three-dimensional performance direction of
943-480: The Continuum playing surface can influence each patch point in the matrix. By defining formulas and placing them at points in the patching matrix, the user creates relationships between the finger touching the Continuum playing surface and the flow of sound from patch sources to patch destinations.
