ABOUT THIS VIDEO
I've been waiting 50 years to experience analog synthesizers responding intuitively and immediately to pitch, timbre and volume changes from the slightest movements of my fingers on a keyboard! In this video, you'll see and hear unprecedented control of one of the most extreme patches I've ever made. It incudes (4) Vintage ARP 2600's synthesizers and (1) Vintage 1969 Moog IIIc modular synthesizer playing all at once in unison mode or where each modular synth is playing a separate voice in the chord. I've never heard my favorite all-time analog synths sounding so musical, so different and just so good!
To accomplish this task, we are using 5 channels of Haken Audio CVC (Control Voltage Converter) to receive MPE messages from an Expressive E Osmose and also from a Haken Audio Continuum. These state of the art MIDI controllers are able to understand the players most subtle finger movements and immediately translate those messages to the CVC. Without any perceivable latency, the CVC can then send 4 independent control voltages to alter any parameter in real-time on any one of the synths being used as a voice.
My special guest, Osmose and Continuum expert performer Josh Madoff demonstrates all the features on both of these keyboards by playing musical examples. I'll be explaining what's going on, playing some duets with Josh and also providing an in-depth breakdown of the patches on each synth. I'm optimistic that we'l be seeing controllers n the near future delivering higher and higher levels of artistic experiences for performers. Please enjoy the this presentation and let us know what you think in the comments section. Thank you for your support, it means everything to us!

Thanks so much for having me at your studio Anthony! It was such an honor to explore these amazing insturments with you 🙏.
-
I just watched this entire video on my big screen TV. With a great sounding system. And talk about being blown away. If I were younger and not battling cancer, I'd have this keyboard setup tomorrow. These two synth geniuses bring a wealth of creativeness to the entire synthesizer world. Hats off to both of you. Can't wait to see and hear what you've got coming next, Anthony. You're the best!!😊
-
I’m laughing at myself for the number of times I’ve tried to wiggle a key to get expression like vibrato. Great demo and I’m only a few minutes into it. 😃👍
-
The amazing thing about the Continuum is that its first version has existed since 1999. Let that sink in. I've been using it only for 12 years, though. Risky to play it on stage, just the way I like it.
-
More awesomeness from Anthony's channel. I have barely gotten over last week with the GOAT. I'm a 70 year old guitarist.. and here I am saving up for a Korg ARP.. oh Anthony you are so inspirational.. Thank You
-
It's like adding the expressiveness of strings to a keyboard. Gamechanger.
-
4x 2600. V cool. Arturia polybrute 12 just entered the party
-
This really is a “ SHE’S ALIVE “ moment. Gr8 stuff.
-
Thank you so much for letting us dive deep into the pool of fresh, warm analogue goodness brought to a new dimension by glorious MPE.
-
These new keyboard controllers open up amazing new use cases for our analog gear. Thanks for this great overview, Anthony, Josh, and the whole crew involved behind the scenes! 👍
-
I love that you also shine the lights to the experts and specialists on the gear you review as well.
-
Cutting edge. Thanks for not wrecking this content with fluff. AMAZING performances.
-
I’m blown away thinking about these synths that were designed decades ago, how they can connect to newly invented MPE keyboards and together create an experience that sounds completely new. Hats off to Haken for the CVC connective tissue, and to the two of you and Rob Rosen for collaborating to make this magic happen! Absolutely thrilling!!!
-
incredible performance at 20:00+
-
I always wanted to try a Haken Continuum since I listened to Jordan Rudess playing one in 'Octavarium' by Dream Theater. I'm mainly a guitarist, but lately I'm becoming fascinated with the synth world. My YouTube algorithm is already skewed from how much I've binged on Anthony's videos this year :D
-
This is the best demonstration of MPE controllers and analog synths I’ve ever seen, and probably the best ever made. You covered both the musical and the technical details with enough depth and clarity for anyone to follow along and fully understand how these technologies work together. Amazing! ❤
-
These are great examples of the fact that we may have another synthesizer renaissance soon! My mind is blown thinking about what new expressive advancements synthesists my have at their fingertips in the future.
-
The captions capturing "ohs" and "yous" is wild. Its so expressive its hearing actual voices O.O
-
Love Josh's playing style. Full of unexpected twists and turns and sudden rhapsodic ebullitions, grounded by cadences of yore.
-
Oh...that jam session was so RIGHT! Man, if I were a movie maker I'd be beating down your door to produce soundtracks! Good stuff!
