RE: hardware vs software - this time from a blind man's view
About the P5 data glove, Bill had this to say:
"Wow that actually sounds really cool do you have a link for that Rainer?"
This seems to be something like the manufacturer's site:
http://www.vrealities.com/P5.html
Some years ago, I got one at a kind of blowout sale for some $16,
including some computer games which can be controlled with it.
I have to admit that although it would be utterly cool to control
modular synths especially (and also effects with some self-done UI), I
haven't done too much in that direction.
The fun starts here:
http://www.simulus.org/p5glove/
A site which offers (or links to) several drivers and applications
which generate MIDI data, interface with Reaktor etc.
Incidentially, just the other day a friend (who's also on this list
btw) sent me a link to a package which interfaces this glove to PD
under Linux:

Now, for some eye/earcandy: you may simply search youtube etc
yourself, but here's some funny stuff:

The Nord Modular G2X obviously lends itself to the idea of using it
with that interface.

For some ambient, virtual reality kind of use
Gee, I've got to dig mine out again...
As a sidenote, this is an USB device - which needs you need a computer
to use it with a hardware synth/effect, and you need a driver for your
OS.
Best,
Rainer
