steve,
hello from maryland!
i can see where something like this could be interesting depending on how it
was rigged to "read" single / multiple contacts ( fingers,etc. ) and output
from said contacts.
sadly, also, probably expensive and electronically complex. that plus low
market interest would limit any manufacturers interest in producing it. ( i
could and would love to be wrong but.........)
best,
dave
p.s. - didn`t big briar ( moog ) make some kind of "control surface" some
years back?
