Hello Csounders,

I came across this website while looking for something to augment my performance pieces and I found this:


(Scroll down on the site for youtube video demos)

I am wondering who among you has either heard of it or designed things for it. The website shows people using it in a variety of ways, including sewing them into clothing, which seems to really resonate with the idea of alternate controllers for musical performance. I am sure a lot of the guys at Berklee [and elsewhere] would get a kick out of this little box.

It has a bunch of musical gestures including even more bandwidth intense things like aftertouch (not sure if polyphonic) just like the Max Mathews radio baton. 

The whole thing really makes me think of Csound because it just uses MIDI messages... control change, program change, aftertouch, etc. Both send and receive.

I am interested in what you guys, the top minds in Csound, are thinking about this device before I drop a ton of cash into it! I am very interested in your thoughts.

Hello David,

I have one and like it very much.
I have not yet integrated it into my performance setUp of Concert rig,
but... I am using it with CsoundQt, CsoundForLive, and csGrain and csSpectral in the iPad.
