No updates to the website in a very long time, I remember seeing videos of it as a prototype a long time ago, maybe two years ago. Its a shame, I really hope it gets off the ground. Its surely the ultimate portable MIDI controller. Stick it in your bag with a laptop and some headphones and you can make as complex music as you could want pretty much anywhere.

Leon patented the process of using relative note information (intervals) as a way to trigger midi instruments. as far as I know he was the first to come up with that idea, develop the software, etc. you can argue if patenting this idea has benifeted leon or the prolifiration of the concept (my view is that it probably didn't). (BTW, I designed the samchillian concept that Linn posts there. pretty cool way to start the day. wake up, connect to the net, read that Roger linn notes something you've done :) spamchillian: no he didn’t.

He's basically patented intervals on instruments. What?! From the maker of the Samchillean:

I'm sure you could come up with your own list and have it look different. I love the Marimba Lumina, but I believe it's not currently available. Don Buchla gets his multiple mentions on this list, anyway. The Thumtronics I think is not yet shipping, but it's still interesting as a prototype, and you can get its software free now and use it on a QWERTY layout. How much does it cost to obtain a ReacTable? Not much at all. The software it runs on is open source. You're still looking at the cost of setting up the projection and cameras, but that's a LOT less than 25k. Hey, it’s his personal list.
