I just watched it it is an amazing instrument controller :o :o :o :o
yeah,
i saw this at the AEC festival in Linz this sommer and asked how he did the buttons, suddenly a guy from yamaha was standing behind me…
nice people though, but this whole project is supported by yamaha, thats why it looks so professional.
chriss
A few questions remain: Will it ever make the streets, and will it be something we can afford? And will it be so cheap that we can do case modding 
Very close, in concept, to the monome controller, http://monome.org/index.php?m=0111 - which will be around 500usd for an 8x8 midicontroller with usb interface :o
What we really need is for people to start working on the scan matrix project again - imagine fitting two cores and 8 dinx4s in a small box like that - eek…
