Imagine this *d-beam's along side visual lasers to construct a holographic pyramid of touch-less - hover control. General FX concept: to control up to 4 effects, 1 effect per pyramid side - Or multiple parameter control over 1 effect, 4 parameters, 1 per side.
*like the Theremin, d-beam technology (introduced by Roland) is a way of controlling an instrument (or effect) without physical contact threw moment over a non visible laser - changing parameter upon your distance from.
So there are 4 d-beam's, Either on the each edge of the side of the
square base all pointed upward and inward to meet at the top.
or in the center pointing outward so the control is more physically illuminated, testing & collaboration will tell.
& 4 laser beams, one house in each corner of the square, all pointed upward
& slanted to the center to make the pyramid visual (since the d-beams themselves are not visual) If this is not fully effective possibly house the hole thing on a tiny smoke machine so the lasers are nice and bright.
there might be need for two interlocked glass triangles, a point staring at each corner of the square, not only to separate d-beam overlap (if faced inward) but for the lasers to shine threw *but this would eliminate single handed 4 point control, so not choice.
If used as a midi controller, imaginations the limit to its use.
I have other projects waiting in line, I was just inspired thinking
*whens the Korg KP4 coming out* & imagining whats it going to be like.
thanks for the read, is your mined expanded?
