是声音设计吗？还是构图？

这是对Haken Continuum的完整探索，这是一种经常被阐明的富有表现力的设备，作为一种乐器，以及硬件的创作。

Is it sound design? Or is it composition? Yes. Here’s a full exploration of the Haken Continuum, the oft-misunderstood expressive device, as a musical instrument, plus creations for the hardware. It might inspire you to rethink how you view digital interfaces for performance.

是声音设计吗？还是构图？是的。这是对Haken Continuum的完整探索，这是一种经常被阐明的富有表现力的设备，作为一种乐器，以及硬件的创作。它可能会激发您重新考虑如何查看数字界面的性能。

The Haken Continuum has helped fuel a lot of recent innovations in expression, MIDI/MPE, hardware, and software. (The sound engine is even inside the Expressive E Osmose.) But that’s about more than just technical details: there’s a scene around this device. Seeing how they set it up is likely to inspire you even if you don’તી have the hardware handy. (No wonder it has its own community event, ContinuuCon, on now in Paris at IRCAM for this year’s edition. It’s like ComicCon for people who care about this stuff. Okay, that’s also NIME; uh, maybe it’s the Dragon Con of expressive instruments.)

Haken Continuum为表达，MIDI/MPE，硬件和软件的最新创新提供了帮助。 （声音发动机甚至在表现力的E渗透中。）但这不仅仅是技术细节：该设备周围有一个场景。看看他们如何设置它可能会激发您的灵感，即使您不方便地拥有硬件。 （难怪它有自己的社区活动，Continuucon，现在在巴黎的Ircam上的今年版本。这就像漫画对关心这些东西的人。

Josh Madoff, whose work on composing for and teaching about expressive instruments I covered recently, is back with a full guide to the Continuum. Josh writes CDM:

乔什·麦道夫（Josh Madoff）的作品在我最近涵盖的有关富有表现力乐器的作曲和教学方面，又回到了连续体的全面指南。乔什写道：CDM：

Haken Audio asked me to make a comprehensive video covering all of the wonderful things the Haken Continuum can do. It’s a tour of the instrument from a musicians perspective, with tons of musical examples. It was really an honor working on this.

Haken Audio要求我制作一个全面的视频，涵盖Haken Continuum可以做的所有精彩的事情。从音乐家的角度来看，这是一场乐器的游览，其中有很多音乐示例。这确实是一种荣誉。

This covers everything – each technical component, how you design sounds, how you play, and how you’d approach this in “analog” contexts.

这涵盖了所有内容 - 每个技术组件，设计方式，播放方式以及如何在“模拟”上下文中对此进行处理。

By the same token, I love the patch design on Silver Bar. Demonstrated here by its designer, Edmund Eagan, this really questions whether a preset can actually be a kind of open-ended interactive score. From the descriptions:

同样，我喜欢银色吧台上的补丁设计。它的设计师Edmund Eagan在这里展示，这确实质疑预设是否真的可以是一种开放式的互动分数。从描述中：

This video explores some of the sonic variations that can be made within this single EaganMatrix preset, “Silver Bar.” Variations like these can be achieved by making adjustments to the Macro controls within the preset, but more significantly by employing different playing techniques and the Touch Control Area on the playing surface of the Continuum. Silver Bar employs new firmware 10.50 features in the BiqGraph Bank of the EaganMatrix. Edmund Eagan is the performer and the EaganMatrix preset designer for this video.

该视频探讨了在这个单一的eaganmatrix预设“银棒”中可以做出的一些声音变化。这样的变化可以通过对预设内的宏控件进行调整来实现，但是通过采用不同的播放技术和连续体弹奏表面上的触摸控制区域，可以更重要的是。 Silver Bar在Eaganmatrix的Biqgraph Bank中采用新的固件10.50功能。 Edmund Eagan是该视频的表演者和Eaganmatrix预设设计师。

I don’t think there are many preset demo videos that you could convincingly put on and bliss out to. Here’s one:

我认为没有很多预设的演示视频可以令人信服地打开和幸福。这是一个：

As if I’m not already making this point bluntly and repetitively, here is a gorgeous composition-slash-preset design complete with score, also from Edmund Eagan.

好像我还没有直截了当地重复地提出这一点，这是一个华丽的作品划分 - 斜线设计，并带有来自埃德蒙·伊根（Edmund Eagan）的得分。

It does make me long for some alternative notational systems for these instruments. Let’s get on that. (It works well enough here, of course, but – think back to the previous video, not to mention something about this notation just seems out of place in 2025.)

这确实使我渴望为这些仪器提供一些替代符号系统。让我们继续前进。 （当然，它在这里运行得很好，但是 - 回想一下以前的视频，更不用说有关该符号的信息只是在2025年不合适。）

But what beautiful work. If that doesn’t inspire you to go grab some instrument and make some sound patches and compositions, not much will.

但是多么美丽的作品。如果那不激发您去抓住一些乐器并制作一些声音的补丁和作品，那就不多了。
