Possibly goofy idea...

[Eirikur Hallgrimsson]

This idea has an appealing simplicity to it.  My question is that
once you have the 'harmonic keyboard' hooked-up, what will be the
difference between playing it and something less creative like
overlaying a sine wave patch over a drone.

I'm thinking that the important part of the sound may lie in
dialing-in the harmonics, not in just getting them by pressing a key.
I don't have anything that's quite as analog as a Fatman to try this
on.

On a MIDI analog synth (Fatman doesn't do controllers) you could use
a knob/button box and program the buttons to send appropriate
controller values.  That would be the easiest way to experiment with
this idea.

Let us know what your explorations find!
