  1. It looks like he went from a 12-space cabinet to an 18, and added a Model 222e Multi-Dimensional Kinesthetic Input Port, a Model 297 Infinite Phase Shifter, and, I think, a third 261e Dual Oscillator (it's hard to tell exactly what's in the old system.)

  3. hey Richard!

    yes i added the modules you mentioned, but i was able to track a 259e as a last addition...i had one 261e and a 259e already.

    also, thanks for the great 200e/continuum compositions...really inspiring.I thought long about getting a continuum instead of the 222e, but i really wanted to keep everything in the family...i am weird like that! I also am enjoying the extra possibilities offered by the "lightning" section of the module...here goes another slice of my social life!

  4. Alessandro: thank you very much for your kind comments; I really do appreciate them.

    I can understand the attraction of the 222e, certainly. It would be very cool to have something like the Continuum integrated into the cabinet itself, which makes for an elegant system. And of course, there's a lot you can do with the 222e that you can't with the Continuum, especially when you add the control rings. Have you worked with them much yet?

    But the 222e wasn't available (though it had been announced) when I got my system, and I already had the Continuum, so the choice was made for me. And I like the fact that with the Continuum, you can easily go from completely tonal keyboard-type control to non-tonal gestural control, or anywhere in between. They're both great controllers, and I look forward to hearing what you do with yours.
