GypsiMIDI

Remember the GypsiMIDI? The following are some words from someone that has actually used one. Note that it is for sale. Contact info below.

Via Matt:
"General info: It's the right arm. I have all of the software and manuals that came with it (these things can also be downloaded from the sonalog webpage). I purchased it about 4 months ago and have used it about 10 times. The project that I was getting together to use it with ended up falling apart and now I have this really cool motion to midi controller that I never use. As for what it does, it translates your right arm's entire range of motion into midi CC's which can then be used to manipulate synthesizers and the like. I was using it with a davesmith mono-evolver and getting amazing results out of it. I was able to play the keyboard with my left hand and manipulate the synth with my right arm in real-time. Because there is so much information being recorded from your arm's movement you can really control alot more parameters than you can with just simple knob tweaking alone. Furthermore, this technology has the potential to revolutionize electronic music (and music in general) if placed in capable hands. Imagine dance music being created live and in realtime by dancers. I think the best way to understand how it works is just to watch the demonstration video's provided on Sonalog's website. I am asking $900 for it. I paid $1300 for it including S/H when I purchased it. Please direct emails to this email address paisleyartmachine AT gmail.com"

  1. I need one of these to create the "symphony of masturbation".

  2. Seems a step backward from the Yamaha Miburi from a decade ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y9V5ORFnzs, but then again I'm sure both have some different strengths and weaknesses
