Excellent. The future begins here…hmmm, stribing multi inter-changable shapes (fancy playing and riffing with a Rubic Cube anyone?) The band Freur all had homemade instruments. Good luck gents and stay on course.

Great work, great read, great CDM as ever. Will keep an eye on how this develops. Again, top work Josh!

Nice!!! I’ve been working on a smaller sound square version, too, but with LED indicators around the edges to help orient yourself in the x/y space without looking at the computer. It’s really cool to see someone else doing this! And the visual feedback is really nice. That it was created w/in the same time period (early 90’s) is interesting too. To me it seemed sort of like a no-brainer to make a sensor grid, and I always wondered why this idea never took off commercially (except in manufacturing product control and security systems, I think). I just assumed someone would commercialize it and it’d be a Sharper Image desk toy w/in a couple years. 15 years later… maybe the world is ready? ;)

I did a Sound Square in the early 90’s but it was a bit smaller than that. Recently dusted it off and re wrote the software for the Mac. See it on You tube:-

This could be a great addition to anyone’s cadre of controllers. Personally, I’d like to use it as a mixer interface. If you can get the price down to some reasonable point, say $150US, you could capture a significant market segment - those of us who like to evolve our capabilities without exhausting our pocketbooks.

This could parallel the Line6 PodXT approach - an “IDE” that saves “patches” (programs) that can be used and tweaked by others.
