[@daviddifranco]

This is so freakin' cool! The multi-touch videos return. =D

[@mrdisem]

nice

[@windcoder]

Wow, that is amazing. It is just as valid an instrument as a synthesizer, or even a guitar. Just needs a brilliant user to make more amazing music.

Stick your dick in the first Electric plug

[@kellyvipperman6166]

Growing with pain

[@canshake]

realmente no solo es novedoso sino didactico.Felicitaciones.

[@ssccrab]

It's really more of a Nord, Korg, Roland (all synth's) without the keyboard. But I love the way you can easily see and control everything on a display.

[@EmdrGreg]

Some symphonic movements are in sonata-form. Your synchronic movements are electronata-form. Awesome.

[@obnostic]

Great sounds, great concept, looks like it's a bit hard to control unless you know the building blocks of digital synthesis. Can't wait for the block symbol that brings up a regular old keyboard.

[@carmelitas]

what a craazy stuff! FUTURE is here guys! I' glad I have lived to see this kind of stuff coming! I wonder what will come next in many years later!

[@ScottMana]

That was really cool. I can see that tech going places and being used in other things.

[@musosf]

Cool stuff! Just read about this in Keyboard magazine, was nice to see a demo.

[@AshTheBash]

That is some real amazing stuff! How is that done? I can't think of any way as to how it is done!!

[@PabloGener]

Incredibly coolest ever music-rythm thingy!

[@apollyon1]

I dont think it will take off, but it is truly awesome, i want to have a go!

[@nednednerb]

Considering what different people consider music, these sounds could be incorporated into works involving other instruments, or the method of playing this device could be finely practiced until the point when a person or more than one could use it to great musical effect.

[@Synnbadd]

Very Cool. Someone was asking how you could repeat a performance. I would suggest superimposing a grid over the table. Its circular, you could asign the lines as Longitudes and Latitudes. Since the objects can be rotated,I would add a third reference for placement such as degrees of a circle. From a reference point on the table and on the object, the degree of rotation could be recorded. I. E. Phase shifter 112 Lat by 130 Long @ 90 degree. Just a thought.

[@mendali]

that's the most amazing thing I've ever seen/heard

[@astrosim]

Awesome stuff!! Looks like a load of fun playing around with that ;)

[@Neelo5000]

It says right in the description that it is essentially a modular synthesizer, so it would be quite useful once completed I'm sure.

[@Tamcon05]

I've messed around with one of these before it's actually really easy to make nice sounding sound

[@droftreeology]

OH that is SO COOL!! some of those sounds remind me of tron... that's awesome!

[@nunobianchi6245]

This is the coolest thing i´ve ever seen. Amazingly stands between the digital virtual interfaces and real, touchable criativity... I am sorry to tell you that you can´t call it a musical instrument, but i am looking forward for a video that shows some superior being actually achieving to perform or compose a real song, or simply sum it´s capabilities to a song´s arrangement. Otherwise, it will continue to be a beautiful, edgy, creative and customizable noise-making machine.

[@jetboy33]

Very cool! Some extreme possibilities for this, I see!

[@steelejk]

ZOMG!!!! one of teh coolest things ive seen in a long time.

[@athelia4444]

interesting demos. i'd like to see one and experiment on it.

[@azrael7922]

Wow, that´s cool. Reminds me of futuristic movies I´ve seen that have epecial high-tech equipment to making music. Realy nice stuff.

[@Jurgonkitfok]

wow , this is really really advanced. it's so neat looking though !

[@dranoweb]

Would be great to see this thing made to really work and play some decent beats - absolutely love the concept tho - just what I have been waiting for...

[@santoschipi]

es impresionante , lo acabo de ver en buenafuente y de inmediato a internet , es impresionante , vamos un pedazo de invento, enorabuena a los creadores

[@Siaarn]

Omg I want it! It's so cool and futuristic-ish!

[@PandaLilyZK]

It would be so much fun to play with one of those!

[@TPSgroup]

I don't know what's this thing, but it surely looks cool!

[@imthehuman]

Wow... That makes some interesting sounds. I want one.

[@forgethebind]

beautiful sounds

[@pumpkineater23]

I'd love one of those.

[@DrumsAreC0ol]

@cod4daworld haha you can use it if u go to montreal :D there is a museum with one. pretty fun.

[@DigiDestined558]

I wonder how much one of those would cost? It seems very cool. I would like to have one. Where would you get one?

[@navyn]

This could be the future of DJing, just imagine being in a club and the DJ mixing his samples in realtime on two such big plates with those shapes!

[@thePOLYGIRL]

very interesting music machine thing ! seems sounds and rhythms based on samples? or what ? is it possible to make own rhythems and melodies with reactable ???

[@shaqqy34]

looks like DJs got some new stuff to learn now to be cool...this is awesome

[@hartmanthe3rd]

once someone gets a hold of this in the public it you wil see some amazing stuff....

[@jantjeVisser]

man this is ART ! the new Laurie Anderson ! ! ! !

[@jackginger06]

thats sick just shows how far technology has moved on.

[@yecido]

nice,,,,keep on doing it...but how you guys do it ???

[@flatterygetsuevrywhr]

Wow! That's pretty cool! Put out a video soon about someone playing a real song with it.

[@punkrocksknot]

that was pretty sweet. Very high tech.

[@jasonlajoie]

You guys need to get a really talented musician to put this thing to its full polential. It's beautiful looking and will make for a really great visual electronica musical performence.

[@domango]

i would love to play this for my high school band

[@Backis13]

That's cool! Alien Sounds... Where can i buy one ???

[@phlood69]

Pretty cool techno. Limited application but who knows in the future maybe someone can make it sound like an 8 bit nintendo audio, until then its pong! Great idea though, I wonder if there are other applications than sound...

[@fullclipaudio]

Where can I buy one of these? I would play with that thing all day long.

[@scuolacortile]

Meraviglioso!!! Ogni scuola d'infanzia ne dovrebbe avere uno!!! Magari progettarene una versione for kids !

[@realredvideo]

I like it, where can I buy one as is?

[@radioelectric]

Check the link at the end of the video, there's a projector and a video camera underneath the table.

[@thesurfsflat]

some many possibilities... nice work

[@ThorTVtube]

I want one of these so bad right now. How much?

[@virgildisgrace]

I wonder if they have a midi input module, or input modules for other expression controls. It shouldn't be hard at all to make them... they could make a module that makes a 2-octave keyboard appear on the table! Damn I want to play with one.

[@ZShadow]

Perhaps the coolest thing ever.... how in the world does it do that? Very adavnced

[@mat967]

dont worry...old and good music will never die!

[@RubenPonce]

Che q buena sta la reactable.. m encanto.. qiero comprar una!!!!

[@powerthrucontrol]

I want one of these!

[@cyrios]

I need one of those!

[@NoAmbitionz]

WOW! that is awesome... I want one in our liveset!

[@GonkThePowerDroid]

This is exceptionally nerdy ... ... and very cool :D

[@tuber52]

is that all the sounds it can make? i thought it would be like intrument sounds not like all techno sounds and stuff, but still seem sfun to play around with

[@gexking]

very cool...looks fun...how can I play?

[@fooflyz]

Wow... That's stunning

[@miss_mango]

That's so cool! what amazing technology!

[@junkhop]

It has some potential, what is the actual size? In terms of performance? kind of like a hyped up theremin..

[@Worldofourown2024]

What is it? How does it work? It's facinating.

[@ultimategoobah]

keep in mind that this device was just created. it's potential is insane. new functions will be added in as time goes by. it will be refined and improved upon. but the potential far out does the tools we have now.

[@ProEthan]

Wow, that caught my eye. Amazing.

[@OIOcellOIO]

Think about it man. Its got a huge playing field. You could have say 4 musicians playing on one table. Also, everything is touch play design. Which means you get a more "human" interface than your usual parameters that a keyboard may have. I can see these being made on a much smaller scale and being hooked into PC's via USB. Which in turn would allow for internet communication between other international musicians. The list goes on!!

[@NVauxhall]

Can be done some kind of "Flash demo game" It will be intresting!

[@killeriller]

That's just amazing!

[@lazygirl222]

That could amuse me for hours on end...but so could a paper airplane....Still very impreissive and really cool!

[@XhellscreamX]

holy crap blade runner an stuff is finally catching up with us... or is it that we are catching up with it... either way, that is simply incredible. an ingenious interface, regardless of how it is being used here, im sure there are some interesting things this could be adapted to. besides you can probably do more with that than you can a set of turn tables for a start.

[@wackosource]

Wow! Id be nice having one of those. U no? it reminds me to electroplakton for ds

[@keefstank]

Astonishing. The only thing missing was the box of Milk Tray at the end.

[@dbearsfan]

thats really cool where the hell did u get that?

[@espido]

imagine DJs, this can revolutionice the electronic music industry. Superb this is about next generation computer too. thats the way we are going to use our computers.

[@xapplimatic]

Wow.. combine a touch screen LCD tabletop with a MOOG synthesizer.. and this is what you've got... a fun new toY!

[@simonbour]

sublime!!! no words!

[@cowkie]

oh man, this is awesome. it's like propellerheads reason, but much better.

[@born2killx]

If you see the green pentagon, it's supposed to change the speaker balance of the sound but KZbin doesn't support stereo.

[@ZShadow]

Sweet... start of new computers :) Like you see in the FUTURE! :O

[@obviousypc]

That would make it more of an experimental, live jam piece of gear, unless it has some sort of MIDI controls.

[@SevenRiderAirForce]

now that's just plain awesome.

[@daniellmondello]

jjjaja..a mi m pasa lo mismo...e flpiado..lo acabo de ver en buenafuente, y no puedo imaginarme que estemos tan adelantados, en este , aspecto,es...INCREIBLE...

[@IanMonroe]

The UI reminds me of something out of science fiction, like the tv show Eureka.

[@antirealm]

yeah i wanna see more

[@DickGhostmoon]

Fantabulous. I bet your neighbours love you with your sonar radar noise machine! When your neighbours hear that they'll think the aliens have landed.

[@cmicallef]

What does your interview with Jim Belushi have to do with this musical instrument?? Like the sound or not, the technology is brilliant.

[@Haiioo]

how do they time it? like without the radar thing they showed, how do they time each 'instruments' note?

[@chalonesur]

que buen quemader de cabeza! la verdad un muy buen isntrumento!

[@Davpronk]

The guy that invented this is genius!

[@Daniel16399]

this is amazing.

[@glenkinion]

Very cool and interesting.

[@darojobe]

wow, i'd like to see it when a music cd comes out of this nifty toy

[@kakashi879]

that is freaking awesome!

[@menacetosociety84]

does anyone know how this works?touchscreen with audio software?for what does it get used?just for playing around?

[@rorkimaru]

you could make some prety cool stuff with this but you would need a lot of those glass pieces
