FUTURE MUSIC UK: "You may think about touchAble and an iPad instead of a hardware controller. A compliment indeed."
MUSICTECH MAG UK: "It can handle the majority of performance or interactive elements within Live without requiring any manual controller design or mapping, making it an easy-to-use but nonetheless powerful Live controller." 9/10
MUSICRADAR.COM UK: "The cheaper, more fully featured touchAble is a clear all-round winner. Its advanced control options give it the advantage in terms of power and make it the obvious choice for studio use and live performance."
DE:BUG MAG DE: "Definitely a recommendation for all iPad users who think about buying a controller for Live - even though touchAble isn't able to deliver haptic feedback in many areas it has advantages to physical controllers. It's worth it - even for studio-use."
"This synth has 2 sections. One is analog strings with Vibrato. The other side is an analog synth which can go from amazing leads and pads to awesome analog bass. The filter on this thing can really scream and self modulate.
The mod and pitch bend are very unique also, as it features the classic Korg Joystick which has pitch bend as the left right axis and modulation as the up down axis. Pushing the joystick forward modulates using the LFO and pushing backward uses the Noise generator."

"Did a little bit more work on the software, and I've added a mute button and the ability to play notes from a specified scale. In this case, 2 octaves of C Major.
Many apologies for the bad sound quality. Microphone in front of a speaker and dodgy screen capture software. Any recommendation for a free Windows based one?
Binaries and source here: http://benxtan.com/temp/pmidickinect_... I've noticed its quite the CPU hog, so I'll need to fix that up. Most likely going to switch to the libfreenect library soon though.
