Re: DIY Airpiano
So am I - your collection of controllers must be quite awe-inspiring by now BJG145!

It would be fun to have something like this that output CV to control my Arbhar!

"The Best" piece of gear is subjective.
Re: DIY Airpiano
A while back I sent the IR sensors to a MIDI instrument designer of my acquaintance to tinker with, and he just sent me a link to a video with the latest progress. It's looking quite promising.
Here's a pic of the case I had made up by a local joiner, though it's not the most flattering angle.
Ultimately I'll arrange a proper photoshoot, hire Durham Cathedral or something.
That's Jo Hamilton, of course. There seem to be very few videos of anyone playing one of these, but here's a bit of There It Is.

Re: DIY Airpiano
Indeed - controllers come and go, but the one's you're involved with tend to result in rather more expressive possibilities.

Re: DIY Airpiano
Not really relevant to the thread, but there's something about the design of that mouse that makes it look much older than it is. It's almost a throwback to the 50s or 60s when everything was designed to look like a spaceship!

...ah, trackball mice. Hate 'em.
Whenever I've been called out to a desk with one of those I've always had to nip back and fetch a proper one. Trackballs are only good for one thing.

(What do you make of Elon's rocket design? It's been described as "anthropological".)

It's a bit Flash/Flesh Gordon isn't it?
