Looks a bit like a giant version of Roli Blocks. The following are a few videos from their YouTube channel followed by some details from their Kickstarter.
Unboxing Erae 2 - Midi Controller & Looper
"This multitouch pad makes the best use of the MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) protocol.
This new MIDI norm goes deeper in velocity dynamics and is more accurate in microtonal variations. Granting faster information transmission between your DAWs and synths for easier mappings and routings.
Rediscover your favorite synthesizers by triggering multiple effects at the same time with XYZ/3D-Pads, polyphonic aftertouch, released velocities or arpeggios effects.
All those features allow for true expressive and musical gestures such as glissando or portamentos, vibratos or pitch bends for every note you play.
Create your own layout with simple elements
From action keyboards and settings adjustment to rhythmics objects:
Erae Touch has everything you would expect from a traditional MIDI controller and inherit from the innovation and new standard in the music industry.
Play multiple instruments on the same layout
Easy to play with, provided with advanced templates and quick menu access to optimize your workflow, it will become a central element in your music set.
Split your layout to control several of your favorite VSTs or synths without menu diving!"
You can find additional details at their Kickstarter campaign here.
I love how people come out with THE Expressive Music Controller. Seems like one a month now. Ever hear Yuja Wang play a Steinway?
