Subject:Re: Clavia/Drawbars

I can easily imagine touch pad on the modern organ (hammond???) clone
as drawbar controller. It should give a possibility of controlling
drawbars' positions by:
- vertical moving with virtual drawbar up and down (like with real one)
- touching the pad in any position for quick value jumps
- quick drawing a horizontal curve in the desired shape, and all
drawbard will move to new positions

Drawbars should be shown as lighting bars for visual control.

I would add also let's say 16 buttons near the touch pad as memory
buttons for screen shots for quick access to different sounds.
Recalled setting could be changed in real time.

Such software drawbars would allow more innovations. What about
having more stops (like EX mode on Korg CX3), having a possibility to
tune all stops, even recent set, to any pitches (including
microtonal) for unusual timbres, dissonant mixtures, out-of-tune and
inharmonic spectra...

Don't forget there's a 21st century. Not necessary to be schizoid
men :-) but similar innovations would be desirable.
