Forty years of research into expressive control distilled into a compact, nearly two‑octave performance surface you can tuck under one arm. The Slim21 Continuum gives you that unmistakable continuous neoprene playing surface with 21 finger positions, letting you treat pitch, timbre, and dynamics like a living, breathing instrument rather than fixed keys. Each finger gets three axes of control at once: left‑right for pitch, front‑back for tone shaping, and pressure for polyphonic aftertouch and dynamics, all translated into full MPE performance.
Inside, a powerful digital engine spans physical modeling, granular, sample‑based, additive, subtractive and other synthesis approaches, with integrated effects driven by the EaganMatrix sound engine to add reverb and additional processing. The Slim21 works as a self‑contained polyphonic instrument or as an advanced MPE controller, with USB MIDI and 3.5 mm TRS MIDI, plus CV/gate, expression pedal and footswitch connections ready for your modular and performance rig. Stereo balanced line outputs, a dedicated headphone output, and new coaxial S/PDIF digital input support both studio and stage setups.
At just 450 x 190 x 30 mm and about 1.6 kg, it is genuinely slim yet arrives as a complete instrument, shipping with a universal USB‑PD power supply and over 500 presets to explore. A built‑in display, octave switch buttons, and preset selection controls keep navigation on the hardware, so your focus stays on the playing surface. The result is a deeply expressive digital instrument designed to feel as nuanced as an acoustic, in a size and price that make that Continuum experience more accessible than ever.
