excellent human machine interface

Looks to be an ingenious human machine interface device. Basicly it's a build your own synthesizer interface. The idea of being able to really customize it (not just change its colors) to fit a particular application is really apealing.

The only drawback I can see is that touch pads have zero tactile feedback, and it seems with a musical instrument you don't want to be staring down at the thing you're operating.
