reactable: basic demo #2

Back




The reactable, is a multi-user electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving physical objects on a luminous table surface. By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic topologies, with generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.

This instrument is being developed by a team of digital luthiers (Sergi Jordà , Martin Kaltenbrunner, Günter Geiger and Marcos Alonso), at the Music Technology Group within the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain.

I mean, it looks cool, and it's no doubt very powerful, but what can it do that a modular synth can't? It's no doubt just as expensive.

Wow I've never seen something like this before!
I really want one, but I think it's really expensive.

This is too awesome! Where can I get one? Would be good for sound effects in movies.

The next step is "Cup 'o Noodles," that cook themselves. What a gorgeous instrument.
