  2. I think this is a good example to show technophobic (or techno illiterate) musicians. It shows how new & high tech instruments are very much viable with the proper human skill/talent behind them.

    But IMO for live work, a little of this technology goes a long way (imagine four iPad users performing this live: pretty boring). But perhaps with large video screens with camera closeups of the finger action it might get interesting.
