looks, and sounds amazing, but I ain't got a clue what is going on.

I got the e-mail about the new twisted tools stuff, but never read it, as I know it would cost me money. Think I might have to go read it now...

From what I can tell - it is an iPad app... using some sort of buffer patch from Reaktor.

Based on the finger movements, you can pretty much tell what it is going on (tho I admit it took me a few views). I had a feeling this would happen once the iPad came out: *MUCH* cheaper physical/musical controls than the Lemur interface... and now with a larger developer pool to draw from.

I mean, screw the trustfund hipsters - who WOULDN'T want to have that kind of tactile control?

I love reactable

you know the makers give out the video captureing software free (theres an easy tut on how to make it work on reasen, so a camera facing down over paper shapes can be assigned to cutoff, adsr and so forth) BUT the projection side of it (where the circles and lines are projected around the object) isnt free (or wasnt last year anyway)

but yea the move to Ipad is deffinatly going to help them, at the mo a reactable is like 5000 poundos!

My uni actually built their own Reactable and I got to develop software on it for my final year project - I don't think it was as expensive as £5000, you basically need a computer, projector, camera, some LEDs, and some sort of box to house it in. Ours was kinda ghetto but it worked okay once you configured it correctly, can pick up finger input as well as those blocks. If I could get my hands on the equipment again I'd love to look into developing some sort of MIDI controller, wanted to suggest that as my project but I had to do something game related.

This video is obligatory if we're talking about bad-ass multitouch stuff:

I don't like it, sure it looks kinda cool but it feels very gimmicky to me. Can't see it having any real practical use in the long run. Give me a controller with actual knobs and buttons any day. Plus the idea of giving apple any more money makes me feel queasy.

Oh live a little ffs. That looks bad ass no matter how you want to spin it. Every time a new iPad app comes out for music it hurts a little more that I don't have one

That's exactly what people originally said about computers, synthesizers & drum machines.

Yup. I think the touch screen is a big game changer. It's still new for practical purposes. I have no doubt in my mind everyone will be using them in one way or another in the next few years. The thing has designers collective creative juices flowing. Stuff like this is just a taste. And set up will be nice. No wires. Have 4 or 5 screens all talking wirelessly and and sending audio out wirelessly to the sound guy. I love it.
