I think the area of MIDIcontroller technology is so ignored, probably cause there's no market fo it cause of that dumb attitude. I wish someone would come up with some interesting physical controller that actually requires substantial physical effort to manipulate parameters, or at least could withstand and respond to it.
I am always surprised when people have no idea about my casio midi guitar http://www.robotcowboy.com/musical-interfaces/digitar/when it's been around since the late 80s. At most they think it's a toy ... *sigh*. I'm disappointed that, at this day and age, I can't go buy a digital controller like this that's new without having to pay money++ aka ztar. I wish casio made these in wood+metal. I have 3 of them now so I can fix the two working ones if a part breaks.
Oh boy thanks Roland .. I can buy a chaos "kaoss" pad. Woopty do. Oh boy Yamaha, I can buy your latest a greatest keytar reissue which is mostly for the 80's revivalists. Or better yet, I can drop $2000+ for a custom super tactile midi controller from [insert small german electronics company here] that most people play with feather fingers. *sigh*
You can't blame just the musicians for making bad performances. Not everyone playing music is a hardware hacker, etc like many of us on the list, so unless more interfaces are available, then people won't use them.

... and spray I do. spray spray spray. How dare I add a particular opinion/link to a discussion. We are all objective here.
Speaking of objective, here is the future of computer music anywayhttp://www.djhero.com/ .
