Default Lemur.

Anyone seen or heard of this? Looks pretty awsome.

I've heard it was kinda cool but extremely expensive. Besides, I don't want a touch screen I want knobs.

I'll probably buy it because of the name alone.

I just came across this: http://www.intatouch.com/
Touch screen for musical applications... though it tracks only one point at a time... but its a hell of a lot cheaper.

i dont see the big deal about the Lemur to be honest. I know its a fancy Max/MSP controller and synth but isn't something like this a little bit of overkill? Im kinda heading in the opposite territory though, I would rather appreciate having a cheaper device that you can use to control anything more intuitively. It's like this Lemur controller is analoguous to those big VJ shows where crappy techno music gets played on humongous screens with over-the-top supposedly "mindblowing" effects, I'll pick going to a dingy club listening to some great drill-n-bass over that scene anyday..

just to provide some helpful info. you can probably get cheaper some tablet PCs like those that run Windows XP for Tablet and just get a better deal if you want at the least some modicum of control with a touch interface. Other than that those Lemur guys have the only multi-sentive-touch screen available right now it seems.
