Ha, my level of kit competance is twisting two wires together.
I'm not sure the 'midibrain' even does what I want. An interesting device to me would
be a smooth hand-held object which could be squeezed to eventually send
midi cc messages to a repeater to change the pitch of one track.
So if I could embed a piezo electric in something and change current to
the range of resistance usable by a MidiSolutions converter I'd have it.
Otherwise, the hand-held device contains a potentiometer which is twisted
or slid to achieve the control.
Since I'd like this to be used by a dancer it needs to be simple and easy to hold
and manipulate.
Incidentally(on topic content) I could be sitting with my foot on the record button
to loop something interesting a dancer creates.
Yours in rhythm,
Steve
