The ultimate techno creation machine...

I wonder what different types of music you could create on this as it is ultimatly controlled by a computer?
Could it be programed to act a bit like a piano but with the pitch changing features and a "flute" if you will on the breath pipe.

my friend who showed this to me said that currently the MIDIs are like firmware on the thing and there's no customization other than what you can do on the fly with the instrument. But he may have been talking out his ass or they will later include that functionality, or it will be reverse-engineered and there will be a workaround you can pirate to really take that shit to the next level. Like record your own drums so you can have some hard ass beats.

Eigenlabs

The Alpha runs around $6700 US, the Pico $600
You'll also need a Mac computer (not windows compatible) and specific audio software.
Pretty cool instrument.

Really? I can't see Daft Punk doing anything besides hiding up in their Pyramid with everything they need built in already.
Seriously awesome looking though. Too bad it's not more compatible as of yet.

Edit: Also, it reminds me of a theremin.

Five trillion times cooler than a theramin.

Fuck yeah. Also, Reminds me: Moby thread coming in about 30 min. Prepare for epic flames.
