The 'French Connection' is the only instrument I know of on the market that has the 'traveller' wire system for portamento, vibrato and any form of glide as well as the 'Expression' button used to control say volume. The best thing about eh FC is that all of these function work directly to standard volt per octave to any Gate CV synth can be rigged up to it and perform the faultless sweeps and curves that only voltage control synthesis can carry off.

The FC has all the performance control spec of the Ondes Martenot - but no internal sounds so its up to you what you hook up to it.
