DETAILS

Since all controllers send similar types of data, the only adaptation issue is how to map and utilize it. Each controller can be adapted inside of the synthesizer based on the data feed. The software Max MSP allows for any USB device to be connected, so the tool itself can respond to any unique, unconventional controller if it can connect to a computer.
