Looks like I get to keep hacking away at a battery powered hub solution.
So, you need to start a Kickstarter project to make these hubs for all of us... ;)

Hi!,

Just wanted to say, if you have any questions you can e-mail me directly @ [email protected]!

the iPad cant power any of our controllers-- though with SoftStep and 12 Step, it isn't too bad to power it from the wall with any usb power adaptor (the things that turn ac to usb power)! QuNeo will work the same way!

Glad everyone is excited, I am too!

I too eagerly await the day when I've turned enough of my ideas into actual things that I can take your money. :mrgreen:

I can't remember from previous discussions here, do you have an iPad?

Hope they end up making a mirrored flip version so you can have two decks with Traktor for example

Matt, can you give us an idea as to what the feel of the actual pads will be.

I think Korg's padKontrol has hands down the best feel of any controller available today.

Would you be so kind as to enlighten all of us Tact-O-Heads.

Thanks in advance.

I've been showing this controller and the kickstarter video to several of my friends, and there is pretty much universal agreement on a few things:

- None of us own anything like it (what with the nifty flex sensors and all; none of us have a SoftStep)
- It looks amazingly fun and creative
- I want one
- However, it is the ugliest color scheme we've ever seen on a MIDI device. Even the mockups look like splashes of programmer art.

Hopefully the LED colors will be programmable and we can make a nice green/yellow color scheme or something.

That said, I'm still buying one. Maybe two.

Yeah, if you could pick your own colors that would be awesome. They look to be set in a specific pattern though based on the LED test video.

Maybe that'll be in version 2. Time will tell I suppose!
