seaboard

This? That is... holy shit, really cool! I didn't think there was anything beyond velocity and polyphony in terms of expanding the capabilities of what a keyboard controller could do. I kinda want one myself, now.

Also, LOL at the the other thing they sell that looks like a Theremin but actually uses computer vision to turn your hand gestures into MIDI commands. I don't know what drugs that company's product designers are on, but it's the good shit.

or if it even works under linux

the midi definitely works, the firmware updates was the mystery. worst case I have a shitbook laptop in the closet with windows for doing such updates

edit: I remember what i thought might not work. the original board and the minis of the same time period can connect over bluetooth but it sounded like it worked fine on mac os but windows was nearly unusable, and no linux users even knew about the thing. No idea if the seaboard 2 or the current minis have that fucntionality.
