ReacTable Trance Performance

This is brilliant. I come from the 'trance scene' and my first productions were around this genre, so this video really is of interest to me. I love how what you would usually do in your DAW, you can do on an interactive table with blocks. You can tell what most of the blocks do.. either play a sample, or act as a filter, or a gate etc..

I can imagine this on a much larger scale. You could really take automation and layering to the next level in live performances with technology like this. I also think its really cool that the top block in this video shows that pitch can be controlled by the turning of the block. I'm not quite sure how this will influence my proposal but I just think its really clever and interesting to watch as well as listen to.

I think something like this would also be a lot better when considering sound design. Instead of using the classic knobs on keyboards or synths, using a table like this for example.

I was also about to say that there is a great possibility for DJign with this technology as well but.. then I found this video and discovered it has kind of been done!
