[sdiy] ReacTable

[Ben Lincoln]

I think the main advantage (based on what I've seen of it) would be that 
you can use at least both of your hands and possibly all of your fingers 
to move things around at the same time.

I hate working with software synths because it feels like I'm operating 
them with only one finger. Having a MIDI control surface with a bunch of 
knobs and sliders would be better, but it wouldn't have the visual 
indication of their functions like on a hardware synth or a ReacTable.

I also find that the more different ways I have of doing something, the 
more likely I am to not only do it, but to have fun doing it.
