On one superbooth video the owner was very honest and explained that the =
mini is a 4 point axis product unlike the 8 points of sensors in the =
bigger hakken's but sacrificing that complexity allowed him to give you =

and the innovation in bringing a sound coupled speaker makes it an =

I think the choice to go Kickstarter is simply to test market size and =

with the idea of how close great synth companies were to going under =

major instruments. It was all about capital flow and owing banks. So for =
Hakken I think its a sensible business decision.

Thanks!

I heard about this remotely during SuperBooth, but there wasn=E2=80=99t =
anything on the Haken site at that time.

What surprised me is that nobody mentions the half-size Continuum. I =
wonder if they=E2=80=99ll have a hard time getting people to understand =
the difference between the half-size and the mini. For a minute, I =
thought that the mini was just the half-size, but I was assured that =
something entirely new was shown at SuperBooth.
