so this is just a different version of the continuum
I could see where this could work better - the continuum was hard to
orientate to when I tried it in Urbana.

It's a similar kind of thing, but the x axis is cut up into
predefined steps (12/oct) and the z axis is a key press, whereas
the continuum is smooth in all three directions. I agree the
continuum is hard to play accurately. It's also hard to play
staccato.

The thing about a halberstadt keyboard though, is that fingerings
tend to restrict your choices on the y axis.

If one wanted to have a variable 12 where you could divide the key into
steps instead of a gliss, it would be quite good. If. It would be nice
to have this capability on a generalized keyboard to.

Could be a related company Carl, and microtonality is mentioned
specifically - this looks to be a retro-fit kit though.

This new keyboard technology provides a multi-touch capability for creating
expression (including mictrotonal features) from the standard 12 tone
keyboard.

Seems like there is also a bit of midi magic involved.

That's Drexel whereas what I posted sounds German or something.
But yes, could be related.
