the continuum works in this way as well.... every finger gets assigned
its own midi channel and then is tracked over the 3 d playing surface
until full release....you can set its maximum polyphony for 16
channels or less if you are needing free channels on your receiving
modules....playing more than 4 parts will take many weeks to
master.....the EG shape and level is shaped by your pressure/speed.
...quik finger attacks gives percussive results and gradual pressure
increases gives a slow attack....downwards pressure is the sustain
level therefore sustain can fade and return if wanted...

pseudo-poly-AT idea might have some merit, so I will probably pick up
one of the resistive sensors and have a play with it (for those
interested, they are made by Spectrastrip and available from Mouser in
the US and - less comprehensively and more expensively - Farnell here
in the UK).
