I cannot get enough King Unique "The XX & Alan Fitzpatrick & Reset Robot — Silicone Shelter" these days
Read more . . . →As I wrote about recently, I cannot stop listening to this bootleg! It is totally one of the greatest productions going on through my head right now.

This is a quick demo of the Fiducial Midi Controller, a tangible controller built using ReacTIVision software with OSCulator to send midi signals to Ableton Live. via gabeshaughnessy: My DJ skills need some work, but you get the idea. One thing you can’t see in this video is the cards are color coded. They match the Ableton Tracks. My ableton live mapping is not very sophisticated.
