Question:
As much as I like Lemur's concept...Don't you think that sometimes you need tactile feedback on what you're doing? I mean, you can grab a knob, look at the sky if you want (or that gorgeous girl staring at you while you rock the house ) and start tweaking it without needing to look at the gear.
With Lemur, I guess you don't have that kind of interaction with the controller. What do you think?

Turn up the radio. Turn up the tape machine. Look into the sunset up ahead. Roll the windows down for a better taste of the cool desert wind. Ah yes. This is what it's all about. Total control now.
I think you have a point but i guess that could work in its favour. If you used it all the time you would end up playing it like a real instrument, you dont need to look at a guitar or keyboard after a while.
Plus, if you wanted you could make the fader the size of the screen... you'd never miss it then!
Anyway, the gorgeous girl would be mesmerised by the light show it emits.... she'd stand there thinking "look at the way he gently strokes that screen and the effect it has on the music. If he can do that with the music then...hmmm"
Or something like that

Yeah, but think of it. A guitar has frets. A keyboard has keys. Both have tactile "feel", so you can guess/know where you are. Touching a lemur is...touching a screen...no tactile feedback.Benno wrote:I think you have a point but i guess that could work in its favour.

i think they have the patent on multi touch screen technology, or am I wrong?

ok I haven't read much on this thing in a few months but does anyone know of there will be a user sharing place/forum so you can exchange the different programs people have written for it like clever ableton ones and ones for specific plugs? if so I may start saving for it. maybe I'll sell my truck.
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.

although the whole gravity controller thing seems weird to me. or the idea of making the controllers bounce. I mean it sounds awesome but it also just seems like something new to cause buzz and people will be making annoying music with bouncing volumes and crap. I mess with tons of weird ideas and Ilove too but I never finish those kinds of tracks I always end up finishing the ones that use very basic "heres this part and this part and this part and it all sounds good" type ideas. I always go back to randomized cc controlling and that but it never really gets me anywhere.
