200e

Alex: I'm also interested in using the 200e with my Continuum, and 
one new item that might help is Haken's new Continuum Voltage 
Converter:

I believe that it uses higher-precision pitch bend than the standard 
MIDI implementation, and the voltage ranges are programmable to match 
systems other than 1v/octave (like Buchla's which I think is 
1.2v/octave), so it might well be a good match for the 200e.






>As I stated before I don't have a 200e and I am searching for more
>specific info in order to buy.
>I love every aspect of that synth, I see it as the culmination of
>analog synthesis.
>The thing I can't seem to find more info about is microtonality with
>the instrument.
>I want to use the 200e with the Terpstra keyboard (www.cortex-
>design.com) and the continuum fingerboard(www.hakenaudio.com).
>The things I want to know are:
>How do you set scales?
>I learned from Mr. Buchla that there is a constant 10 cent
>uncertainty in the tuning resolution.
>Does this mean that you can only tune in tenths of a semitone,
>or that you can tune in whatever tuning but have a 10 cent
>uncertainty due to oscillator tracking?
>The continuum fingerboard uses pitch bend information from the
>instrument in order to achieve a resolution of 1 cent.
>I guess the 200e's pitch bend resolution will handle this.
