| Reactable |
22 Jan 2007
Next generation of synthesizer / digital audio performance tool anyone ? Reactable is a "state-of-the-art multi-user electro-acoustic music instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface" The video demo is fairly self explanatory to anyone with a basic understanding of synthesis. We were totally blown away by this kit and we'd love to get our hands on it ! Hopefully tools like this will help to advance the performance aspect of digital music which is often comparable and about as exciting as watching someone check their emails..
