Madrona Labs, who are developing the new Soundplane multitouch instrument, posted this demonstration of the latest version of their Soundplane software.
They note:
You can see the speed and accuracy of the touch tracking from 12 bits of pressure information at about 1000 frames per second. I need to measure the latency better but it’s down under 5ms, and can probably be improved a bit more.
The software is partially done– there is another page to be completed where you can set up zones that function as notes and controllers.
i got a chance to tinker with this thing, it feels really fragile. It was interesting though.
Hi Justin, the version you were playing with was a prototype with very different surface materials. (This final surface hardware is less than a couple of weeks old, so that’s how I can be sure.) I hope you get to try out the finished hardware sometime.
