jazzmutant lemur reviewed in keyboard
I was idly thinking about MAX/MSP and realtime music control, and went back to cycling '74 as food for thought. I wish to revisit that topic in some depth in the future, but anyway....
I noticed there's a reviews on the website for the one of the bigger music publications Keyboard Magazine. It's worth a read - the article is written by Peter Kirn (of CDM fame) and gives a good overview of the unit. Overall the feeling for the click lazy is that it's a really interesting, if somewhat niche peice of hardware, and you can expect to spend quite a bit of time customizing it (for better or worse). Sounds like the technology is still maturing from what I understand.
Keyboard Mag Review - Jazz Mutant Lemur
There's also a review in the current (newstands) issue of Electronic Musician, and it should be up on the website next month if you can't get hold of the paper magazine. Last year was the year of the affordable control surface, (as declared by me) and this year, maybe it can be the year of real time customizable music control surfaces. Or perhaps something more catchy. I think the Lemur is the tip of a very large iceberg for digital musicians though.
