CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (MuseWire) – Haken Audio announced this week an update to the Continuum Fingerboard OS and sound engine, bringing the firmware to version 5.20. Enhancements expand the mathematical language of the EaganMatrix, providing even more sonic design possibilities. This release also includes 10 new sound designs by Edmund Eagan that highlight the sonic versatility of the EaganMatrix.

Also, a new preset filing system which exploits the Finder (Mac) and Explorer (Windows) to assist the user in creating a custom user library of presets, for either personal use or to share with other Continuum owners.

Keyboard shortcuts and mouse actions have been added, making the matrix programming experience more efficient. New CVC capabilities expand the versatile control of analog synthesizers through the Continuum Fingerboard.

Three new time-based mono modes complement the existing pressure-based mono modes, increasing the expressive options of the Continuum Fingerboard in performing monophonic lead lines.

New EaganMatrix Preset files are in the Archives directory, in the 5.20 download.
