Wonder what Ray Charles could have done with something like this?

Check out LEMUR, described thusly:

LEMUR is a handy and modular touchpanel based controller designed for audio and multimedia real-time applications. Our technology associates multitouch capabilities with visual display. LEMUR is provided with an extensible library of User Interface Objects such as faders, switchs, pads, keyboards, strings, etc. A software editor (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux) allows the user to build easily his own interfaces by dragging and dropping objects on the control area. The JazzMutant software editor also provides advanced tools to map and setup objects and control parameters.

No price is given for this device, which has an initial shipping date in early 2005. But if a gadget's coolness is indirectly proportional to the average lunk's inability to conceive of uses for it, this puppy is off the chart.

Note the full disclosure in the FAQ, which warns that the device has not been put through its paces by beta testers with more than ten fingers.

Hat tip to the CSS god who walks among men and with whom the only technical expertise I share is the ability to spell our common name, Eric Meyer for providing this link via his "Distractions" section.

Great news! I've been looking for something to interface my Reaktor and Audiomulch! This looks like it!

Kind'a worries me they're getting a little deep here though.

What do you mean by "Multitouch capabilities" ?

It means that it allows the use of multiple fingers at once

Actually, given that I didn't understand anything else about the description of the capabilities of the product, I was glad to see that I did have a good grasp (no pun intended, of course) of "multitouch."
