We sure do love our obscure instruments here at Engadget. Even
something as simple as the Monome, with its grid of 64 pads (and
little else) can get the creative juices flowin' when partnered with
the right software. Well, we just received word that SevenUpLive, the
driver that gets Monome to play nice with Ableton Live (via Max /
MSP), has just received support for Snyderphonics' handsome Manta
controller. What's this all mean? Well, besides looking great, Manta
features velocity sensitive plates and polyphonic aftertouch, which
means a higher level of control than many of your boutique
controllers. But you need a demonstration, right? Why didn't you say
so? Video after the break.
