baaaaad controllerism, just don’t do it.

This is so bad I felt I had to post it. Even if it could trigger hotcues in traktor (midi) it just wouldn’t be worth getting punched in the face for using.

ya i couldnt imagine any one useing that in a gig looks more like a toy or something

OMG. That is so stupid it is awesome.
‘Make real “music” instantly.’ lol great.

Lol that thing cracks me up, I remember when Gizmodo first posted on it they hated on it hard, so the company who makes these hit them up saying you cant hate on it without trying it…you can guess the rest of the story

laser controller pro

Here is a classier example of using a laser “harp” as a controller.

Jean Michel Jarre playing his laser harp

I was just about to post a video of jean michel jarre

Even though he has a penchant for the over-dramatic, he is still a genius. Oxygène is one of my favorite albums and undeniably a major influence on modern electronic music.

The technology isnt so bad, but the execution pretty terrible :\

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Is that real???

15

sadly… yes… yes it is.

I am all for experimental controllers but this thing takes basicly 0 skill level to use - it makes a good kids toy for a child who doesnt yet have the manual dexterity to play a proper insturment but thats about it.

Ean when can you apply the VCI-100se 1.3 firmware to the Beamz?!?!

17

If it was upgraded to 1.4 would the 14bit lasers cut our hands off ?

I am thinking in buying this for my cat. I know she would love it and sure some great tracks will come up.

I think it’s pretty cool although it’s not really practical given it’s size, cost and having only six on/off beams.

Although massive price difference, http://www.moogmusic.com/theremin/?section=product&product_id=11 would be definitely better offering 14 bit midi and many more notes.

Although not now, maybe in the future?
