Nine Inch Nails used this keyboard during their "With Teeth" North American Tour in 2006 and their "Lights In The Sky" Tour during 2008.

In fact Maurice Martenot conceived it in 1918 but he shows it for the 1st time at the Opéra de Paris in 1928

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

I love the vibrato on the keyboard! They should make new synthesizers with that option.

Most synths have a vribrato stick. Some also have ribbon controls (oberheim ob12, yamaha cs-80 etc.).
I'm not sure about the existence of ring-controlled synths. It would be nice but I think the french connection controller already covers this market pretty good.

when I said "ON" the keyboard I didn't mean on the synth in general. I meant on the actual Keyboard... where your fingers touch the keys.

check 4:50 to see what I mean.

I bet it would be easy for a company to do this. I'd buy one in a second!

ah sorry, I see what you mean. Well I only know the yamaha cs-80 should have that feature.
They should put it back on the new synths indeed.

Thanks! I had heard that was the fact, but it was after I made the video. Thank you for the clarifying information.
