On Kickstarter now, and already funded.
drumbeam from AFK Audio
Made to be playable with sticks, this bar has LEDs that can be configured on both the player’s and the audience side. Can be set up with multiple playing zones it will output both USB and regular MIDI. Would work well as a more portable drum rig.
I posted about this for this year’s Superbooth.
Interesting to consider what long term plans they may have for this technology.
