Touchy Touchy Lol - jazz mutat lemur
Hey what a coool midi control i was in a gig of the dj/producer Deadmau5 and he was using this cool midi the jazz mutat lemur…before he used to use the xone 3d but he said it was too heavy to tke with him everywhere so now he take this to every gig coooooolll the only bad thing is the price $$$$$$
too much
Yeah, I remember seeing that when it came out. Fucking expensive but SO COOL
yeah and I swear every good producer ( somewhat commercially successful at least) uses those things in there dj sets. it would be so nice to have
oof… So expensive. That’s why I like Daft Punk, next too their Lemurs… BIG BCR2000s by Behringer. 
Those guys certainly know how to put on a good live show !
The lemur is waaay out of my budget, shame.. cause id love to get my hands one !
True that. Still working on touch screen concepts J?
Although LCD controllers are great and stuff on paper, the lack of tactical feedback sucks. It gets dark in clubs, and I like being able to feel what I’m doing rather than having to constantly look at the screen to see if I’m hitting the right button. I suppose if you practiced that wouldn’t be a problem. Or maybe if you only use the lemur as your controller, but for me it wouldn’t work because I use lots of little circuit bent toys and such.
hey i personally think thats is a lil dificult if i have sometimes problem touching an iphone now i can imagine this lol 
Trust me it is not. It grows on you like a new bike does a kid. It is very user friendly and the best tool I’ve seen hit the market. It pushed me back financially, no doubt…but it is really worth it’s weight, in gold imo. I love mine and there is no real lack of tactical feedback missing. trust me this toy rocks from the second you unpack it.
Justice uses 3 of them in their live sets :-x goddamn! it must be nice to be rich
Well I have dabbled a bit with one about a month ago. I was not that impressed.
The pricetag made the controller more impressive than anything else.
do u think if you owned one and created your own UI it’d be better? to me it just seems like it would be amazing especially when coupled with ableton..
I have used it in ableton, and I was not impressed, tbh.
I think I would be way better off with an Akai APC40 or a Vestax VCM600.
those are both hott-ass controllers… i’m surprised at how cheap the APC40 is for how epic it is!
Jups.
The Akai will not have an internal soundcard, where the Vestax has an onboard soundcard.
don’t mean to get off topic, but speaking of ot controllers..I got to see Monolake’s 'Monodeck" about a year or more ago. The controller is custom made and custom programmed through Max and strictly for Ableton. He said that he didn’t ever need to look at his computer anymore, His stuff is quite a bit different to djing but it’s still amazing.
the coolest part is imo constructing your own midi controllers just with some clicks in ableton, just like in the deadmau5 interview. soooo cool. 
Not to brag, but I have the most kick ass wife in the whole world. I didn’t even have to beg! After eyeballing it for about 4 months, I ordered a Lemur today at the reduced price and can’t wait for it to get here.
After messing around with and programming several controllers, I have found that for my personal taste and style, I need something that is severely customizable, almost completely re-designable. The limiting factor in most controllers is in the hardware itself. There is either a limit to the amount of controls, or the controls send out modified or multiple messages that aren’t changeable, and are only semi-correctable with a midi translator. The Lemur and the Monome have come the closest out of all the controllers, but having a grid of buttons became slightly tedious when trying to remember which row you put certain functions. The selling point for me was that on a Lemur, if you really wanted to, you could emulate nearly every controller, up to the internal memory capacity. And, because of the physics emulation and the OSC protocol, there really is no limit to what you could control or how you could control it, other than the fact that there is no tactile feedback and the screen size is about half the size I would prefer. The price tag on a double sized lemur though would make it impossible for all but pro acts. The ability to completely program your interface is much more important to me than tactile feedback, as the backlit screen actually compensates for some feedback vice blindly searching for that one unlit knob in the dark club.
/the suspense
yeah, that is a properly impressive piece of kit, though i’s have to suspect gerhard and robert have put a good amount of what was learned with the monodeck into the APC40 – got to play about with it a little at the ableton user group a few weeks back, smart unit itself.
these should be really cheap once the Apple touch screen net book drops .
