What I have seen on your videos is very good and interesting but has
absolutely nothing to do with jazz - obviously!
Obviously not, I believe the two thing to be not even comparable because deeply different in terms of creative outcome and perspective.
When playing jazz

In case you are
playing with other people (which is not the case in this particular
performance) you need to be able to react to other musicians by picking up
melodic / rhythmical lines and elaborate on them in the context of the
changes of the harmonic structure and build melodies on the fly that make
musical, expressive and emotional sense.
This cannot be achieved by triggering patterns!
Thanks Ingo. If that's what he's doing it's a real pity the half of us couldn't get it!
I imagine that such interface could have been demonstrated more properly with a trio?
In that case the accuracy of each note, etc.. could possibly be more visible.
Afaik, you were the only one who previously knew Ashanty work, and the only one who knew what was going on during the performance.
You're interface might be able to produce great soundscapes but it cannot
get deep enough into the musical microcosms to shape each individual note
within a melodic line where every single note may be only 100 ms long.
Sure. That's because I'm not interested in it, although it could be great.
Now you make me wanna try :P

This is why people like
Onyx build alternatives. I am experimenting myself with a custom wind
controller that could overcome some of the problems that I am having with
them.
Good to know, I never played around with a wind controller... sounds fun.
