it's not an instrument, so when the developers and various
news sites keep describing it as an instrument, it doesn't
get a lot of love

Eigenharp is not really an instrument. A MIDI style
controller more like. I really wanted a decent video of a
Synclavier but alas couldn't find any which I found
interesting, so Eigenharp it was...

Eigenharp is very expensive, you could buy a Synthi A
instead :-)

As far as I can tell, eigenharp is:
breath controller,
step seq,
ribbon control,
3D "buttons".

Although I haven't seen the 3D button type thing before, the
rest most definitely exist. It doesn't look intuitive AT
ALL. I suspect you need to have a load of stuff programmed
up for it on the computer.
They also missed a trick, because it looks like you cannot
place it on a table and play it like one of those indian
things (can't for the life of me rememeber the name) whilst
using the breath control.

it looks like it could be a laugh to play about with, yeah.
but touting it as an instrument isn't really true.

and starting at almost £4000 for a MIDI controller and
softsynth package is a bit much really

This puts it at $1,000 - $10,000, and I found
this for $3,600. Quite a slice for some music
history.

Good videos.

An incredible sampler with 28 megabytes or more of
memory!


the fairlight is such a beast though, the infrared pen
selection on the screen must have been been really a mad
thing to do in 70s

This clip is fantastic LAZY_TITLE. What an amazing
synth. Can you imagine hearing that in 1938? unreal.
