Created page with "==Introduction== The Ekdahl FAR is a string based electro-acoustic instrument whose main mode of generating sound is by utilizing a bowing wheel and by very precisely controlling the speed of the wheel, emphasizing natural overtones in a string. The bowing wheel is situated on a controllable pivot which pushes the wheel more or less hard into the string in order to affect both volume and harmonic content. To further extend the capabilities of the instrument it also has a..." |

Like all Knas instruments, the Ekdahl FAR - while a new and somewhat experimental concept - can be used for any regular musical composition and expression, but also allows for deep explorations of naturally occuring overtones within the realms of digital precision control and repeatability. The instrument is designed to perform excellently whether being in an improvisational setting, or being sequenced. All aspects of The Ekdahl FAR can be mapped to respond to any avaliable control mechanisms (USB, MIDI, CV etc.) and emphasis has been put on configurability and modification both from a software and a hardware perspective. | Like all Knas instruments, the Ekdahl FAR - while a new and somewhat experimental concept - can be used for any regular musical composition and expression, but also allows for deep explorations of naturally occuring overtones within the realms of digital precision control and repeatability.
