Guest aeser Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 lemur granted it's kind of neat, but $2100 AFTER a $300 discount for a fucking 12" by 12" touch screen controller box seems pretty fucking ridiclous. especially since it only works with maxmsp, reaktor, and pd.

Guest version2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 try it out. it's fun x100. it was still kinda beta when I saw it. it's expensive to make it and it's only made in small #s. works for some things, other things it's not very tactile. things on the bleeding edge of tech are usually expensive.

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 You're not just paying for the controller, you're paying for development costs which will be very high for a small company making a device like this in small numbers. Oh and the packaging of course! Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/11676-this-seems-excessive/#findComment-234415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I can imagine you'd be able to do something very similar with one of those tablet PCs but at a fraction of a cost. Bung on Audiomulch, set up the interface with a bunch of VSTs and bob's your dad's brother.

Paulie Walnuts Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I think it's the coolest thing I've ever seen software wise. I'm getting quite into Reaktor - I think an interface like that could completely change the way you work and think about music... It's the sort of thing I've been waiting for... I bet in a few years this touch screen technology will really start to work its way into home studios... Anything to avoid feeling like you're working with a computer would be a huge step forward...
