USING KONTOUR

"When I use Kontour, I always have my feet on two control pedals next to two footswitches for sustain. The pedals are assigned to two macro controls, the modwheel to another. And of course there’s also pitch bend and aftertouch.



I like to play ‘bread and butter’ sounds like pianos or clavinets, but also explore the less predictable ‘life in the machine’. The resonator and feedback structures can behave like an untamed animal. The extensive routing options give you a feeling similar to a modular synth or circuit bending.



My heart beats for live-performing musicians. That’s why Kontour is very playable and expressive. But this synth is really for anyone looking for fresh, organic sounds that can be heavily bent – it’s a real-time synthesizer. It works great in typical production and sequencing environments and the motion recorders allow for a lot of experiments with mutating sounds."
