| The heart of LinnStrument is a multi-touch surface that senses the pressure, left/right movement and forward/backward movement of each finger, continuously and polyphonically. Typically, pressure controls note loudness, left-right movement controls pitch and forward-backward movement controls timbre. We call this 3D Note Expression. With this level of subtle control, you'll find little use for envelope generators or LFOs because your finger movements do a better job of controlling a note's envelope, vibrato, pitch slides, tremolo, bends and other musical gestures, just like on acoustic instruments. And speaking of pitch slides, you can perform continuous pitch slides across multiple note squares, all the way across the surface. |

Next question, does he sell D-10 models?
Quite interesting.

I miss my bar and finger picks... 
Seriously, I downloaded the "manual"... that thing is capable of a lot of stuff!
