Korg Nano Series Under The Microscope In Nashville

YouTube via gearwire
"One of our prohibitive favorite destinations at Summer NAMM was the Korg booth, so we could actually get a look at the new Nano controllers up close. Guess what? They're even more adorable in person!

The three controllers include a 29-key keyboard controller (NanoKey), a twelve-pad purcussive controller with X/Y pad (NanoPad) and a nine-fader, nine rotary knob, eighteen-switch and full transport control DAW controller (NanoKontrol). See more on Gearwire.com."

Building a small portable multitouch pad will allow you to test software and experiment on a smaller scale while building your full table or when away from your multitouch screen. Have fun and make a MTmini! This uses Front Diffused Illumination, with normal ambient light (infrared not required or needed) and a normal off-the-shelf webcam (IR filter can still be in place).

-How's it Work?-
---------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
For this to work, all you need is a room with (at least) some light. The results will be best when the room lighting is even (no bright lights shinning from one direction onto the multitouch pad).
