The reactable, is a multi-user electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving physical objects on a luminous table surface. By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic topologies, with generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.

This instrument is being developed by a team of digital luthiers (Sergi JordÃ , Martin Kaltenbrunner, GÃ¼nter Geiger and Marcos Alonso), at the Music Technology Group within the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain.

This is a great ...
This is a great thing; the only thing I don't like about it is it sounds like the sounds are digitally modeled and the aliasing "edge" is getting tiresome to my ears these days. Does this instrument output a midi signal?
