  1. Slight problem here. This entry seems to imply that Touch OSC editor is product of Synth_NYC, but Synth_NYC only produce patch sets. Touch OSC is a product of Hexler, Ltd. a completely separate company. This is more than a simple typographical error in that the video embedded text implies that Touch OSC is a product of Synth_NYC, which, contrarily, appears nowhere in their web site. Neither does Hexler web site mention any affiliation with Synth_NYC. Unless Synth_NYC have come to secretly own Hexler, Ltd., I am detected a bad smell in this part of Denmark.

  2. After some research, I understand that Synth_NYC has created a script in Touch OSC to produce this particular editor. Even though Touch OSC is well known, there should be credit given as to the ownership of Touch OSC. Also I wonder why an editor that is not available to the public is given a video when Synth_NYC's intent appears to be attracting sponsorship from investors. The video should have been sent to prospective investors rather than being posted in a public bulletin board. The public can really do nothing with this except gaze and move on.
