Yes, there is a specific advantage to stiffer surfaces. Spongy surfaces = spread out the pressure, making it difficult for the sensor to isolate = the exact location of the touch. Stiffer surfaces are generally more = accurate and have finer sensitivity. Fortunately, between the Continuum, Soundplane, Linnstrument, Seaboard, = and others, we have many variations of expression sensors: mechanical = magnetic, capacitive, resistive - all the kinds! - with varying surface = materials to interact with. These truly are instruments that a musical = performer can bond with. Each has limitations specific to the details of = how it is constructed and how its sensors work, while at the same time = each product has unique advantages. Fortunately, they=E2=80=99re all = compatible with vintage analog synths via MIDI as well as MPE so you can = mix and match.

The pads are very slightly = raised so you can do smooth glissandi from note to note, which I don't = think you can do on the Push either. So aside from the 4ths/chromatic = layout (which is optional/configurable) it's a completely different = experience. I'm copying Roger here as he may be able to respond to some = of these questions way better than I can. >=20 > Cheers > Quincas >=20
