Imagine gliding your fingers across a surface so sensitive it captures every nuance of pressure, position, and pitch with microscopic precision, turning subtle gestures into soaring, living sounds. That's the magic of this slim fingerboard, born from years of innovation in expressive electronic instruments.
At just 1.2 inches thick and weighing 7 kg, its sleek metal body measures 110 x 19.5 x 3 cm, making it portable yet robust for studio or stage. The heart is the EaganMatrix DSP engine, a modular powerhouse blending additive, subtractive, FM, and physical modeling synthesis with 24-voice polyphony, a deep mod matrix, and onboard effects. Play up to 16 fingers simultaneously across a 70-semitone (nearly 6-octave) multitouch surface that tracks X-axis pitch (left-right with sub-cent resolution), Y-axis modulation, and Z-axis poly aftertouch for per-note dynamics and glissandi. MPE+ ready, it doubles as a controller via USB-C, TRS/DIN MIDI, S/PDIF I/O, stereo 1/4" outs, headphone jack, and dual footswitch inputs; pair with the optional Continuum Voltage Converter for CV/Gate expansion. The older s70L6x used a legacy 6x SHARC processor, meaning it drops its polyphony count much quicker than the upgraded 8x SHARC engine in the 70s8x when running demanding patches
Players love its immediate, knob-free interface—no menus distracting from pure expression—and the tactile piano-spring feedback under the surface. Community demos highlight buttery portamento, microtonal scales, and timbral control that rival acoustic instruments, though some note the learning curve for its gesture depth rewards dedicated explorers.
