This thing is really, really cool. Althought this video is the first public display of the prototype, it seems as thought the instument basically allows real time pitch shifting/correcting of whatever happens to be getting scratched. This is interesting to me as a sound designer, as it will be an interesting new tool to use for bedding sounds in wierd ways - in a tactile way. You can do anything with pro-tools and a good set of plugins, but to be able to augment sound with a tactile interface, and realtime response opens doors to new types of creativity. - dp.
