That is a unique concept for a controller-Maybe they should call it the
"Haggis Sack" :) maybe you could make a ball filled with some graphite and
by manipulating the ball
alter a CV. Hmmm
btw check out www.badhaggis.com 
this is the band of the Eric Rigler, who did the pipes on 
Braveheart and Titanic. A very cool guy. I bought his album off his website
after meeting him at a seminar. Great blend of old and new IMHO.

Apparently, as you step on the bag and displace the powdered graphite
the resistance decreases and the volume goes up.  neat but messy.  An
amazing instrument for it's time.
