That idea
turns me on a bit more. LOL

dancers
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
