Re: What can blind and visually impaired loopers do?

Perhaps you could use a WiiRemote as a method of controlling any
looping audio interface or VST/AU. This could be achieved in Pure Data
or Max/MSP. The WiiRemote could provide tactile feedback through the
vibration function, perhaps providing tactile cues for loop points. I
could perhaps build one for you to try in Max for Live/Ableton.
