Lumatone

The center of the pad is the note, but if you strike the pad off center with quantize off, you’ll get a continuum in either direction. But when you reach the groove between pads, there’s a discontinuity, whose size depends on how you’ve set bend range. The options for bend range are ±2, 3, 12, and 24. I tried them all, and none of them continues the continuum into the neighboring pa

if I understand you correctly… that was the limitation I was referring too…

@thetechnobear

theoretically, the linnstrument is continuous - but correct, its not strictly continuous (like the soundplane and continuum) … iirc for pitch slides, its firmware interpolates, to ‘jump the gap’ (which is very small) … so whilst you can play continuously (not sure at what resolution) , Im not sure if you could place your finger between notes and accurately get the position… BUT I don’t have a linnstrument, so can’t test to see how well it can compensate. (it does do a very good job in this area)

as I didn’t have a linnstrument… I wasn’t sure if the interpolation could handle the gap when you initially place your finger… if i understood correctly, what it does when you slide is ‘predict’ you’re going to slide across the gap.

anyway… I think this kind of thing (emulating other things on a linnstrument) would be better discussed on the Linnstrument thread as, its not really about the Lumatone.

It be nice to discuss things the merits of the Lumatone here.

back on tropic:
been getting emails apparently they sold out of batch #1 , and I think have moved onto batch #2, seems each batch, increases the price a bit.

good to see people have been buying/supporting it.
