So i just posted about a startup Electro Jam showing there first product at the SB show.
Here’s another potential first product, from an innovator and experimenter Chris of Sound Werkshop who has created a second experiment, that he is calling the Wiggler V2. He has innovated a control surface ( the green area at the bottom of the photo ), that uses an eight point capacitive contact grid that is floating on a movable surface, suspended by “flexure”, which are bendable arms with magnetic Hall effect sensors to see the motion that the bendable arms make.
The flexure system, is not too dissimilar to a single bend mechanism in the Haken Continuum actually, but has the capacitive contact sensors in addition.
BTW : All DIYers out there this basic concept, is available for your experimentation, as it would be considered common knowledge, so you could go create your own system of control.
It is a digital synth, and the synthesis model is quite simple at the moment, and creatively ready for his innovation. I expect this will undergo more innovation and there will be a V3.
The video shot at SB has to be the worst shot video of the show. Video queued.
