This is the Eigenharp - described by its developers as "the most expressive electronic musical instrument ever made".

Very strange piece. Even after watching closely , I'm pretty cloudy on how you go about playing something like this. I am a bit miffed on what hand was controlling what ???

when you mention software while describing an instrument i lose interest quickly. very interesting, though.

Wow! Instead of a crappy electronic imitation of one instrument, it does crappy electronic imitations of lots of instruments!  :rolleyes:

This raises more questions than it answers.

With three chaps playing the same instrument, how will girls know which one they should sleep with? How will camera operators know which of three chaps should be shunned? How do you sell something like this at GC if it's not an SRV, Clapton, Hendrix, or Green Day edition?

None of the above.

All of the above.

Catch potential customers in a leg trap and don't let 'em loose until they agree to buy?

Interesting technically but all in all I think this thing is the Keytar of the new Millenium :P

Everything has it's place, and my place for this would be in the "for sale" section, then I could by a nice EB3L, and maybe a T'bird, and...
