I really want one of these: multitouch midi

To be honest, I don't think I WOULD like that so much, I wouldn't be able to GRIP it. What I *really* want for all my softsynths is a custom MIDI controller with proper
knobs like THIS guy builds! http://www.synth-project.de/Welcome.htmlHe made one for
ImpOscar and for an Oberheim emulator, both look amazing!

... and some better news: software The software costs just US$75. The bad
news .... you still have to buy a multitouch control surface and have a Win 7 machine.
Although the prices for 20" multitouch screens are getting pretty reasonable. Dunno how much the beauty on the vid costs, though ... According to the
developer, only Windows machines are supported: OSX doesn't yet do multitouch, he says.
And who am I to argue ?

I tried to read his site but didn't really understand it - what is his emulator for? Can ye not just put any software on your multitouch screen and play with it? Or
does software have to be specially multi-touch enabled rather than mouse enabled? I
know nothing!

Anything will work to some extent with a
multi-touch screen, but not necessarily in the way you'd want. Most software
— including most DAWs — hasn't been written to allow multiple mouse pointers, which
is effectively what you're doing. So, say, riding two faders at once isn't a simple matter
of touching two faders on the screen. Control surfaces get around this by not using the
GUI as the means of input — their controls are mapped to specific parameters. Quite a
big job to recode for that... though it will be welcome when it comes!

I see - so his emulator for Traktor is actually just a kinda virtual MIDI control surface
thing, mocked up to look like the actual Traktor GUI?

Yup, that's all.
And a guitar, all said and done, is just a few bits of wood
glued together, with six lengths of tensioned wire on the front.

Very cool! Especially the fact that it's transparent - that's just awesome.
But I don't know whether I should be amused or worried that his homepage features a
customer called Bez W*nker. I don't know whether that's a name or a job description...

Really? I always thought it was a surrogate

I would wait for the
main manufacturers produce 10-point touchscreens for a decent price...
If you
need it immediately and you cannot buy the Microsoft Surface or the Wacom products, maybe
send an email to these people:
