i dont think f.r doesn't have a problem with using gadgets as inputs device. he mentioned he uses the DS for similar purposes. and aside from his lack of enthusiasm for turntabl(ism) his much valid point is unprofessional use of "tings".
<br>i see it as something i struggle with myself, slowing down and focusing your efforts, separating the essence from the fluff. <br>my day job is supplying software trinkets for promotion purposes. this is what i took from it, there are other readings.

<br>i totally respect you're opinion when presented as such.<br>however implying that turntables are a silly fad shows a kind of conservatism that doesn't really have a place on the max/msp forum, imho. of course i could be wrong, and turntables will quickly go the way of laptops, synthesizers, electric guitars, the piano, and all other silly fads people tried to pass of as instruments of expression.
<br><br>and back to the topic, can you really not see the utility of a pocket-sized, fully customizable, wireless, multi(hopefully)-touch screen interface?<br><br>very few active members of this community are chasing fads, one would think.
<br><br>and really back on topic, does anyone know if this awesome external will work on the ipod touch?<br>_______________________________________________<br>maxmsp mailing list<br><a href="mailto:maxmsp@cycling74.com">maxmsp@cycling74.com
