Titan Reality Pulse 3d – New Type of MIDI Controller
Titan Reality Pulse 3d – New Type of MIDI Controller Titan Reality just released a midi controller that follows a design concept which will become much more familiar to producers in the coming years. Plugged as the first virtual reality midi controller the Pulse is able to detect hand symbols, gestures, pressure, different percussion, (brushes, mallets, drumsticks,) and a wide range of instruments that could be played on its grid mode. The controller essentially allows you to manipulate, create, and control sounds in empty space. (Everything the theremin dreamt of being.) The project is being fully funded through Kickstarter, and you can grab your own for a little over a thousand dollars. Checkout the trial video below and the project site below that. Welcome to the future! Titan Reality Webpage

Roli Seaboard-Future of Keyboards
Roli Seaboard-Future of Keyboards MIDI Keyboards have been one of the most effective controllers a producer can wield in their arsenal of equipment, though regardless of the dozens of evolutions keyboards have encountered, they never strayed too far from the centuries old counterpart: the piano. The ROLI Seaboard takes a dramatic step in the realm of MIDI Keyboards towards greater musical expression and a large leap in musical inventiveness. The Seaboard aims to transform the traditional keyboard/piano, (characterized by single tone keys and fixed velocities,) into a unified expressional tool, using the power of five different parameter controls: Strike Press Slide Glide Lift The strike parameter is essentially a more advanced velocity control, measuring the force of contact you make with ‘key waves,’ while press is controlled by the pressure applied, maintained, or reduced after you have struck. Glide is a horizontal pitch control which you can influence by gliding through the …
