It's good to see talk about alternatives to keyboard-based 
controllers. For controlling a modular they seem kind of lame.

I've always envisioned a disc-shaped surface with zones that were 
both sensitive to impact and pressure.

Imagine a circular controller divided into 8 pie-slice shaped zones. 
Tapping with finger sends a gate/trigger pulse. Sliding a finger over 
a zone while pressing down sends a varying control voltage.

I realize this is simplistic, but it has possibilities.
