I just had a listen to Olivier Messiaen and, yes, I agree with you, I do detect an influence there! I didn't know the little furry bugger knew how to browse the web and check out other composers! :) Just realised I hadn’t also responded to Rob… I just had a listen to Olivier Messiaen and, yes, I agree with you, I do detect an influence there!

Cheers. Truth is I'm a guitar tech who invented a MIDI controller by default. History page refers to how that came about. Sorry for lack of detail, I don't want to get into trouble :) We developed the Opal before C-Thru's product but work on very limited resources, hence minimal promotion - ditto wesite updates. Opals are hand-built to order so not quick to produce. There will be a real techniques page when we've fulfilled our current orders; we work day and night! Falling out? Well we didn't quite kill each other! we just differed over what these controllers should be like and how they should be made. So that's why there's 2 separate companies. Hope this helps.

That hamster is a genius! He sounds just like Olivier Messiaen. What do you mean, “stupid?” That hamster is a genius! He sounds just like Olivier Messiaen.

The "playing technique" page has some clues that have nothing to do with "playing technique" but nothing that really tells me anything about any kind of "falling out". The History page seems limited to facts. Alternative Controller people are as crazy as poets and I am usually as fascinated with the stories behind the instruments as the instruments themselves. If y'all have any better story here, I'd love to hear it. I’m having a hard time conclusively connecting the dots between these two companies.
