Re: Continuum 'fingerboard' controller



One trick that was published in the old MIDI Guitarist newsletter for 
fretless
guitars was simply setting your MIDI sound module to chromatic (no pitch 
bend)
mode.  That way, a fretless guitarist could more easily alternate between
those wonderfully expressive fretless solo lines and playing chords.  If 
you
are a microtonal player, just use your MIDI sound source's tuning tables 
for
those non 12-ET chords.

If it works on fretless guitar, it probably will work with this controller.
