The Box alternative audio control interface

Yeah, you could go ahead and get some commercial MIDI controller that 8,302 other producers are already using, or you could venture off the beaten path a bit. And maybe the
hamster-powered sequencer is venturing a bit too far, but The Box will leave you firmly in sight of civilization whilst yet challenging the conventions of audiovisual production. It's a 16 x 16 grid of buttons with internal lights, each button controlling the playback of samples from a connected laptop according to software rules created by the user — the platform is open and begging to be tweaked. The Box can communicate with any MIDI-supporting application via USB 2.0, and a small number of units will be manufactured and available for sale so if yer interested, get on it and make contact via the Read link.
