More on ContinuuCon 2019 from the organizers:
Two full days of presentations and workshops are scheduled. Guest speakers will include Roger Linn, who designed the first digital drum machine (the LM-1 Drum Computer), the Akai MPC60 music production controller, the AdrenaLinn multi-effects processor, and the LinnStrument multidimensional performance controller; John Worthington, who designed the Jambé electronic percussion instrument and led the team that developed Apple QuickTime; and Moog Music’s Geert Bevin, Belgian programming wizard and co-developer of numerous multidimensional touch instruments. As usual, presentations by University of Illinois Professor Lippold Haken and Canadian composer Edmund Eagan, who co-developed the Continuum Fingerboard, the ContinuuMini, and their onboard sound engine the EaganMatrix, will be among the most popular.
Tickets, complete schedule details, videos, and more information are available on the web at ContinuuCon.com. ContinuuMini owners and others who can’t attend a whole day or the entire conference may purchase half-day tickets for the afternoon of June 1.
