Game Controller Sound Design

I really like the idea of changing an interface to take the user outside of their comfort zone and control something they already know how to use. I think this is a great way for finding new techniques, sounds and ways to experiment as the user approaches the activity with a fresh mentality and interface to match.

The above video from what I can tell is controlling oscillators and other functions but something like this could also be used for sample manipulation, DJ'ing, recording triggers and extensive modulation. It would certainly force me into thinking about sound design differently if I was controlling a synth with a games controller for example.

Just an observation but - sounds like the kinda effects you'd hear in the transformers films
