Jordan Rudess has been playing with the new Madrona Labs Soundplane & this video captures some of his experimentation with the new controller.
The Soundplane is a computer music controller designed to have the sensitivity and feel of an acoustic instrument. It can detect a wide range of touches on its walnut playing surface.
The Soundplane A can be configured as either a 150-note keyboard with position and pressure sensing on each key, or as one continuous surface.
Details are available at the Madrona Labs site.
plz give that man a typewriter.
As someone who plays both keyboard and guitar, controllers like this are super interesting to me! I didn’t know these guys were here in Seattle… I may have to hunt them down. 😉
