I think that demo is extremely lame.

If that's the most impressive thing that Jordan Rudess can come up with to show off the Continuum's capabilities, then the controller is holding him back. Waaaaaay back. Plus the main interface is MIDI unless you have the Kyma PC based synth system.

I wouldn't pay $500 for that controller, and it costs $4000 for the half-size and $7000 for the full size. It won't be the first of it's type to fail.

Yeah, Rob. I can see why people might be intrigued by it, but it's a huge waste of money IMO.
$4000-$7000 for a (primarily) MIDI controller is simply insane, especially when one of the world's best keyboard players can't pull off a decent demo with it.
