I assume you're talking about the French Connection.

I had one, but had to sell it. I loved it.

It had a bunch of really interesting controller possibilities. The ring slider was great and it had small indentations on under the ring so you could easily slide to a given note.

One of it's most fun features was the button controller with attenuation. It doesn't sound that interesting, but when routed to a filter or oscillator, the button was a blast.

It also featured a joystick.

It was also really solidly constructed: the keys felt substantial and it even had red felt above the keys.

If I had a spare $2.2 grand sitting around, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

Hope this helps,

Bryan

Speaking about controllers, does anyone in list owns an AS frenchtouch
controller If someone does, are you satisfied with it and do you
think it's worth its price
I'm working on a "Martenot like" ribbon CV controller prototype for
very musical and expressive applications. I met J.L. Martenot
yesterday (son of the inventor and inventor himself)and that was very
instructive. He's not in modular stuff at all but we spoke a lot about
music, electronics and controllers and we both agree that there's a
big lack of musicality and expressive possibilities in nowadays
electronic musical instruments.

Do you guys feel the same and have you ever wanted a controller that
would allow you to play synth like one would play cello, with real
musical possibilities
And by the way, have someone already experimented with DIY controllers
and CV sources

Maybe it's a bit offtopic but I think it's an interesting subject.
Cheers,
Max.
