That's funny, I too was inspired by Michel Waisvisz's The Hands
performance, its quite something. We should write LiSa for Pd! ;).

This the joystick/mouse instrument that I made using Pd:

The whole process inspired me to write the [hid] toolkit to make the
process easy and fluid, like a rapid prototype for controllers.

Hi folks - Today I'm building an 'instrument' from PD and a MS Sidewinder
joystick.. I'm feeling like I'm probably reinventing a number of
things that people have surely done in the past - like using a
joystick-button-combination to record my voice into an array, another
combination to play it back, continuous joystick control to
pitch-shift and scan the sample array at varying rates (including
backwards), etc.. Basically I want to to easily record and tweak my
voice in a number of ways, on the fly.. (I feel very inspired by
Michel Waisvisz and his 'hands' in this project) I've been happily
creating this thing from scratch for a day now, but I'd like to see
some examples of how others have implemented interesting behavior, as
a reference and to spark some new ideas. So if you've got patches that
you have made for this kind of thing that you can send my way (or
favorites you can refer me to from the help files, etc..), please
share - I'd be greatly appreciative! cheers, -David Merrill
