Haven't had time to try this one yet, but I heartily applaud the effort by Progress Audio to revitalize synthesis control with their Kinsis synth.

Most traditional synths, and contemporary digital ones, employ a typical ADSR + LFO system for controlling the sound. ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release) is an easy way to manipulate events that happen once (like for each keypress), and LFOs are tpyical for repeating effects, like vibrato or filter wah or things like that.

This is good and all, and kind of a standarized way of doing synthesis, but it is an old method, and based in hardware. WIth digital tools there should really be new options, and I am happy to see Progress Audio challenging this. Kinsis employs more of a timeline approach modulating stuff, which is familiar to most persons working digitally. Looking forward to investigate this.
