RE: Anyone using Lemur ?



Friend of mine is at NYU where they built one of the first of these.. 

http://cs.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirtouch/

Not on the site, but I played with it when I visited is the mockup of a ProTools Control|24 surface that they had emulated on the screen..  you can twist the knobs, run multiple faders, works just like the real thing.. feels just like startrek!

Multitouch is amazing stuff, it’s going to make all other interfaces pretty hideously obsolete.

Hi Bruce,

not that I have the $ to spend,   but if you were to use the Lemur mostly for AbletonLive6, Reaktor, VSTs etc , it might be wonderful and creative experience. and maybe the learning curve wouldn't be too bad.

 

I also wonder how hard it is to  assign all the 'widgets' to various midi controllable devices and control variables.

hi qua

haven't actually sat down and used it for any length of time, but a friend of mine (o.blaat) uses it and seems to like it. when i saw it being demo'd at the cycling 74 booth at aes a couple of years ago i played with it a bit and it is an amazing thing to be able to have multitouch access, the down side is the learning curve is a bit high unless you are already facile with Max/MSP/Jitter programming.

cheers

bruce

I recently read about the Lemur control surface. It seems to be the "iPhone" of control surfaces - literally :-)
Expensive but fascinating, IMO. I'm curious if anyone has real-world experience with it.
