Check this shit out!!! Stick around for the Lemur demo at the end
of the video. Shit, when Autechre give up their new
hardware fetish and start rocking this shit into their
post-gnarly Max patches again, we're gonna have a whole new
level of mind fuckery.

Interesting...sounded a bit scrappy though, you might get
away with it in a live environment but it certainly wouldn't
be much good for studio albums and when all is said and done
offers very little new anyway.

yeah he was using a piezo sensor to create the sound of
bells, instead of sampling real bells. just seems like a
gank (geek wank)

heh, why buy the bells when you can just synthesize them and
control them with sponges and coughmedicine cups? Mind you
everything we heard was through compressed video... I'm sure
if they can write algorithms to copy bells, they have their
own special tricks for making dope quality audio too.

New ways of interfacing with instruments are very exciting
in my opinion, I believe(hope) a lot of artists will move
into this kind of area where electronic music is
played/performed by the artist kind of like playing a
guitar, which adds a whole new layer of skill and depth to
making electronic music.

It would also allow for very organic swings and humanized
stuff instead of the gridbased music that's been made up to
now. Hopefully we could be facing some kind of shift in
electronic music paradigm soon enough, kind of an evolution
really.

Imagine how the music today could have been if they didn't
decide to use a keyboard to control the first synths, if
they had decided on a different way it would have made a
huge impact on the world really.

but the keyboard still is the easiest, that's why it is
widespread
it's not like other orm dont exist... the first "synth" were
controlled not at all by keyboards, but well... comercial
succes made everything that made sounds have a keyboard so
you could sell it to novices

Why have a real girlfriend when you can buy a RealDoll? I'm
pretty sure they're in the same price range as a Lemur. And
watching some guy play with the realdoll wouldn't be that
much more boring and aesthetically repulsive than watching
him play with a Lemur.

It's interesting but the cost of getting all that together
must surely be prohibitive to most people?

it's amazing how closed minded ya'll are. these are
instruments, ie, tools that offer an extensive variety of
ways with which to express oneself and convey something
meaningful to other people.

my guess is that if aphex was operating that thing you'd all
be masturbating to the video while talking about how he's a
genius. and, if the thing was $50 there would be loads of
tracks on here by you all begging us to listen to your kick
ass, innovative new tunes composed with ground breaking
instruments.

it's like you are dissing a keyboard "yeah, lame, apply
pressure to a piece of plastic and sound emerges, how
un-musical." (there were similar nay-sayers when the piano
was introduced) and besides, bob moog, who invented the
synthesizer, was very reluctant to make it controlable via
keyboard and throughout his life often wondered how
different music would have been had he applied a different
interface.

it's really a shame to see people on an electronic music
forum discrediting new/alternative ways to create music.
it's also exceptionally ironic.

Lemur touch screen controller gizmo $2500
Open Labs Controller One touch screen controller gizmo $900

Open Labs

Been doing some research into control interfaces. The
control one interface is designed for DAWs but with the
proper soundcard and cables, they can be integrated into a
computer, I am sure.

Honestly, I don't see the benefit of this over many of the
other solutions available. For the price of this plus a
couple hundred dollars you can purchase a basic capybara 320
and a kyma X operating system.

it's too bad that these interfaces will all wind up being

I imagine it would be easier to create boc-clones with a
normal sequencer as opposed to lemur.

I would think it allows you to fire samples with both
butt-cheecks and adjust frequency and resonance with your
balls.

Heh, the reason I ask is because the lemur-team stated that
one of the things that made the lemur so special was the
fact that it had a "polytouch" technology as opposed to its
counter-products.

And it did not say anything about that kind of support on
the Open Labs interface featurelist, hence I asked
Taxidermist who claims he's done in-depth research on the
subject.
