The Airpiano MIDI interface has been all over the web recently and since all I do is ride the waves I thought I should post about it too. I like interfaces like this.

Or perhaps I should say, I like instruments like this, the kind that breaks new ground and lets musicians, composers or just whacked out sound designers do something in a new way. It has a lot of similarity to Rolands D-beam found on a number of synths from said company.

But I would say the roots can be traced back to far older instruments. Perhaps you’ve heard of the Theremin?
