Pitch bend has been on MIDI controllers since forever, more or less. I'm super excited for this synth though, with per-note pitch-bend and multiple instruments reacting to key pressure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjZ6SuWxBFg
Coming from strings, that makes so much sense. Learning some keyed instruments I always found myself attempting to bend/vibrato in that way without thinking.
Huh ... it's a cheaper way to get into the Haken Eaganmatrix too, vs $3500 for a half-size Continuum. That's a really trippy synth and given what the Continuum needs, a great choice for the Osmose
