hello,
i quickly tried one. my point of view is that :
- sensing the finger are surprisingly fast : it look like you can play
percussion on it.
- I like the physical point of view for the movement of fader or other
objects. :-)
- I really like the possibility to change the layout of the gui while
playing
- no haptic feedback (of course)
- no pressure information
- max velocity of the fader in not so fast.
(i hope this limitation could be change in future upgrade)
i don't think you'll ever be able to have the gui of your software in this device, but a custum made gui. it work a bit like gripd (you build your gui and then connect to the software) but for any OSC software environement.
image and surface quality are ok, good manufacturing quality. it's very cool. (and expensive)

there has been a lot of talk about this peculiar device on the list. is there anyone who actually bought it? is it as good(+cool) as it sounds? what's the manufacturing quality, latency, image + surface quality?
There has been some discussion on the Max and LAD lists. I remember the following points:
- multi finger touch seems to be robust with little lateny - very
responsive
- the gui has several elements (maybe enough for many application), but
is not really freely programmable
- the prize is breathtaking: about 2500$
the funny thing is that none of the people taking part in the discussions actually owned one, but there seems to have been a number of presentations - also in course of PrutalDruth Berlin, as i was told. Maybe some Berliner can elaborate... Wernfried?
best greetings, Thomas
