[sdiy] This would make a GREAT controller (Lemur-like)

[Nicholas Gregorich]

If you're not familiar with it, the Lemur is a touch screen that can detect multiple fingers on it at once.  Its popular with the MAX/MSP/Jitter crowd.

However, this looks like an amazing synthesizer controller:

The video is really worth watching.  I suppose the software sells the touchscreen quite well, but none the less that looks like it would make a jaw dropping interface for a synthesizer.  Wow, that looks fun!  Too bad there is no pressure sensitivity.

Anyone tried a Lemur?

Oh yeah, and anyone interested in a DIY FTIR?  ;)
