Speaking about controllers, does anyone in list owns an AS frenchtouch
controller ? If someone does, are you satisfied with it and do you
think it's worth its price ? 
I'm working on a "Martenot like" ribbon CV controller prototype for
very musical and expressive applications. I met J.L. Martenot
yesterday (son of the inventor and inventor himself)and that was very
instructive. He's not in modular stuff at all but we spoke a lot about
music, electronics and controllers and we both agree that there's a
big lack of musicality and expressive possibilities in nowadays
electronic musical instruments. 

Do you guys feel the same and have you ever wanted a controller that
would allow you to play synth like one would play cello, with real
musical possibilities ? 
And by the way, have someone already experimented with DIY controllers
and CV sources ?

Maybe it's a bit offtopic but I think it's an interesting subject.
Cheers,
Max.
