Lemur Demo

Synthesizers have always fascinated me because of the wide range of sounds not possible with acoustic instruments. Their weakness, historically, has been in the area of expressiveness in comparison to their acoustic counterparts (violin, trumpet, sax, etc.). This demo video hints at the possibilities when one combines a expressive implement (the Continuum Fingerboard), an ultrapowerful electronic sound source (the Symbolic Sounds Kyma), and a high-end user interface (the Jazzmutant Lemur). The sum of these components are an unusually expressive electronic instrument.
