Haken Slim 21 Continuum - Review by Loopop
Haken Audio's Continuum has long stood as one of the most expressive electronic instruments ever built, though its size and price kept it out of reach for most players. That changes with the Slim 21 — a compact fingerboard that brings the full EaganMatrix engine into a smaller, more accessible package.

Clank Uranograph Works
Every sound in this recording originates from a single source: the Clank Uranograph.
In this session, Francesco Gennari pairs the instrument with a Fostex X-28 and tape loops. He feeds the instrument's raw output back through tape to build texture, decay and depth — there are no external sources or overdubs.
This is part of Uranograph Works, an ongoing series of live performances exploring the full expressive range of the Clank Uranograph in different contexts and sonic territories.
Karplus Strong Sounds with WMD Cosmic Debris
Karplus-Strong synthesis involves delaying a sound so quickly that it becomes a pitch, and Cosmic Debris masterfully achieves this effect.
It can produce basic plucked strings, metallic resonators, and cymbal-like textures using Blur, Ratio, and Warp.
Tune it with V/oct into the time input and shape the tone through the filter. Then run two independent pitch sequences into your oscillator and Cosmic Debris to achieve layered melodic results.
