Brilliant device, that really adds something beyond wheels and pedals
Absolutely loving this! Much like a breath controller, it adds a level of expressive capabilities that you just don't have with wheels, joysticks, pedals and the like, bringing the synth/sound design experience another step closer to "real" instruments.
What inspired me to investigate alternative MIDI controllers is my picking up the violin and cello a few years ago, and a growing desire for more expressive freedom with virtual instruments and synths as well. I believe there is a level of musicality that can only be explored and developed with instruments that instantly respond to subtle details of your playing - but I don't see why we can't have that with electronic instruments as well!
The output from this controller near-audio-rate, and it's fast and sensitive enough that you can use various finger tapping and sliding techniques on it, making it feel and respond almost like the skin of a drum. I'm not quite sure how to apply this to "traditional" synth presets, but for those of us programming our own sounds, it opens up a another level of expressive possibilities, much closer to acoustic instruments.
Downside: After trying this, you might be tempted to pre-order the Osmose.

Great for expression
With this unit i can control 4 midi cc's, three of them at the same time. This is great for orchestral libraries and advanced expression of other instruments. Great build quality, feels great and very intuitive. I love that you can get extra rubber thingys to change the resistance to your own preference.
Works great both with and without the software running, however you need to have it hooked up to the computer of course. At the price point, this is one of the best expression controllers. I'm considering upgrading to the standalone version.
