You've reminded me how good the Haken Continuum is Richard. Of course the Buchla must be making a substantial contribution too. Very nice playing and very nice tones. Thanks for sharing.

very nice! I was wondering, can the buchla maintain the 1 cent tuning accuracy of the continuum fingerboard? I interested in making some just intonation music..

Thanks! I haven't tried it myself, so I can't say, but I think it's possible the 200e would be able to maintain 1 cent accuracy. The biggest issue in tuning the oscillators to the Continuum is getting the CV In range settings correct, for which I've found the StroboSoft software tuner invaluable. If you can get the right ranges, you should be able to get the necessary tuning precision. But it would take a lot of tweaking, based on my experience.

Wonderful video! Easily one of the top 200e performances, but I'm guessing you would make a CZ-101 sing beautifully as well.

Nice job =) Did you learn from yourself how to use a synthesizer or did you study something special ?

great, my fav 20th century piece, with a new timbre, unknown for me. Extremely well played. Do you know if the score can be found for free on the interwebs?

Thank you! As for the score, there's no free version I know of, and this particular transcription is my own, from the version in the Quartet for the End of Time.

The 200e is polyphonic? That's incredible! The Continuum/200e combo is a match made in heaven, in my opinion. Maybe add a Moog Etherwave, but other than that, prefect. This is terrific!
