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?

Here’s a video clip of Dexter in case you haven’t seen it. It’s still somewhat unclear if this will work with Pro Tools or not. Anyway, looks pretty cool. To be honest though, I think physical faders and knobs seem much better… Notice the lag when the guy drags the faders up and down?
