I heard a demo of the Pitchrider 7000 at DIGICON, and was impressed. IVL was able to demonstrate all its polyphonic features. The ability to have six split points (one per string) looked useful. The Pitchrider 4000 is a monophonic device, and is still available. You can control pitch bend range (0-12 semitones), MIDI channel (1-16), note velocity (on/off), sensitivity or response time. The demo I heard used a flute as an input device. I was suprised to find that IVL sells the Pitchrider family in Canada for the same dollar amount as Cherry Lane sells them in the U.S.! That makes it 35% cheaper if you buy one in Canada and find a way to get it into the country without paying a lot of customs duty. -- --------------------------------------- UUCP: tektronix!midas!chriss USMAIL: Chris Shirkoff Tektronix, Inc., PO Box 4600 MS 94-442 Beaverton, Oregon 97075
