Yeh that's interesting, pity what they were doing sounded a little crap. Great potential I guess though. I like the tactile/digital cross over.

Are they lemurs?

Was wondering the same. They aren't lemur's, look at the side of the unit, it say's Attigo, must be a custom build.

Anything that democratizes the process...

What's really interesting is the increasing nexus of kinesthenics/visual/aural inputs
with prospect of synesthesia.

yeah i've seen it, its incredibly skillfull, he makes the guy playing that instrument next to him look much less talented than he is just by comparison.

The shakuachi guy is no less talented than kentaro. That instrument is incredibly difficult to play with that precise tuning, if he was not a great musician he couldn't jam with the modern stylings of kentaro. Besides of that, Kentaro is a great innovator and according to this point of view, he clearly beats the shakuachi guy.

yeah i get you man, i mean no disrespect to the guy playing the instrument, but the way kentaro delivers such fresh beatchopping really impresses me !

A level technolgy project

Instant beat juggling at the touch of a button - completely undermining the years of dedication turntablists put into their skill.

... nice idea tho

i expect numark or whoever will be selling a very similar product to the masses in a few years!

don't think people will be rushing to trade in their 1210s for it though
