A USB touch controller for audio and video. Uses HID spec. Does capacitive sensing. 6-8ms latency (w some jitter). Portable and somewhat tough. Bus powered. It’s slightly like a monome….<\/p>\n
It has a fixed layout because it’s a hardware device. It is discrete. 48 hexagonal pads which outputs how much surface area is covered. Slightly less than 8 bit. The sliders at the top have 12 bit resolution and are single touch.
\nthe hexagon grid is inspired by just intonation lattices. Based on Erv Wilson and RH Bosanquet’s papers graphs
\nIf every sensor is a note, you have 6 neighbours
\nIt has LED feedback under the sensors (you can turn this off) inspired by monome.
\nThe touch sensing is inspired by the Buchla 100-series controller.
\nHas velocity detection. Does this based on two consecutive samples.<\/p>\n
Microtonal keyboard, live processing, etc<\/p>\n
