WOW Midi controller of pure sexness!!

[Siege]

Thats some cool shit!!!!!

[bassbin]

The missing link between synthesis & finger painting :D

[stjohn]

the idea behind is quite simple actually... its all just video recognition...then software all the way after that.

looks so nice, but i hear its a cunt to program

[FILTERZ]

looks nice innit


not gonna make your music any better though is it?

[Komplex]

as cool as this looks, it still doesn't beat keyboards, knobs and switches... you can't "feel" the positions and exact locations of the controllers which makes it useless for anything other then ****ing around...

would be cool as a nord modular (or future equivalent) editor, but you'd still want the actual control panel to play and tweak it as an instrument.

Nah, I disagree... I reckon the pure visual feedback is simply revolutionary.

Tangible interfaces. They've been blowing the horn of this kind of stuff for years in the CS world. Looks like it's coming to something finally.

Being able to see the way your modules interact in an achingly simple manner.

Takes synth programming to the next level.

IMHO, N.E.way...

You can`t feel the positions of the knobs on any of your kit unless you look at it.
If you blindy reach for a nob on a synth, unless you remember where you set it last or are looking at it, then you won`t know where it is.
So in actual fact with this kit, you are turning knobs.
They are solid objects, that you turn physically, that also have a visual reference.
How can they be any more knobby?
I totally don`t get your point.

What you are seeing in that video is the beginning of the future.

what a stupid future, fuked if im going to have a stupid little square in my studio to control everything, perhaps it could be good for something like max/msp or supercollider or something but i couldnt disagree more in saynig its the beginning of the future.
that device has little merit in terms of versatility, a video based application that controls midi is a mess within itself, imagine mapping this thing to your favourite synth, have fun....
i think the point was, if your using the knobs on your synth, whats better about doing it with a square?
i definately have a feel for my gear, and more often that not, in a live situation i can reach for a knob on my SU700 and know exactly what it is..something this square cannot do.
im not disputing a clever advance in technology, im disputing its place in the general music market....2c
