Haken Audio ContinuuMini Black Edition

Check out Loopop's Youtube review if you're interested in this.

Great synth and controller, but not easy to play. Don't expect to be able to play fast lead lines straight off, but it is rewarding and enjoyable to play. It lends itself to slower more melodic and expressive lines anyway.

I come from a keyboard background, so naturally I had some difficulty in this "fretless" experience. But this opened up a ton of opportunities for expressing myself. After a year I still discover sounds, and new firmwares do come out and add presets and sound capabilities.

I highly recommend the Haken engine, its physical modelling is fantastic to my ear. Of course I use it with vst instruments as an mpe controller too. But standalone is so good..
