Hello

I thought I heard on Los Angeles station KNX that Bob Moog
had come out with a very advanced synthesizer which played like
a piano/keyboard and which was tied into a computer with software
which was capable of doing very sophisticated music synthesis -
far more advanced than most present day synthesis. Does anyone
know anything about this? Is Bob Moog listening?

Hi Dave:

My recollection is, Moog was calling it the "multiply sensitive keyboard".

He demonstrated it to myself and Peter Otto up in Buffalo when we
brought him to the North American New Music Festival in 1994.

Its features allowed the performer to manipulate tone by moving the
finger along the key after a note had been sounded. It was basically
an advanced input device.

If he did, I don't think it's out yet...

Maybe it didn't take off because Bob didn't accountfor the fact that the
sliders got in the way? Real
keyboard players don't just press down at the end of
the key, they use the whole key.
