buzz forums

I met a guy to an exibition of my chairs, and he told me about a very nice project he was working on, i'm want to buy this great controler, Crystall ball, very sexy, perfect for my generative music, he says he could make a nice price for me, cause we live in same town, and he found my chairs cool.
Naonext is just at half an hour of my house in tramway, I did a little advertising for these cool guys (Nantes is Naoned in breton).

With buzz and peer machines this Crystal Ball will be killer controler.

Woaw! This looks very useful, more funny than the usual midi pad (even if I'm dreaming of buying one).
It's expensive but it seems more like an 'instrument' that let you 'play' more than just changing presets.
Thanks for the info!!

sounds a bit dubstep in that second clip. buzz don't do dubstep.

I saw this a while back. Wasn't impressed and I'm still not convinced after seeing these.

But I'm sure you will do great things with this, Tinga.

Oh ! Nous sommes voisins Tinga (private message )

Looking forward to hearing what happens.

Would probably just use 4x linear midi faders. Probably cheaper and more precise !

Thanks for advice.

Yes its five 7bits sliders, but it's 30 cm, on a normal midi controler, slider are 5 or 6 cm maxi, and the software architecture is a little bit different than other midi ctrl.

Sound demos are crappy, but when i tried it, the sensation is quite pleasant.

In fact, if i buy this stuff, it's not for me, but to propose a cool interface for people to play with generative things, I also have to successfully sell a project, because this crystall ball is too expensive for me.
