<br>just drags the performer into his/her own little world behind the<br>screen. I know I'm not alone in this. I've been using my analog synth<br>more and more lately, with the laptop on stage just as an auxiliary
<br>effects unit.</blockquote><div><br>That's exactly the motivation behind the lack of screen on the Audiopint.. I think that the performer's attention is best focused on their performance (entailing a bodily, engaging show for the audience), not on the screen of their laptop.
<br><br>The suggested / enforced workflow of the screen-less Audiopint is that the patch gets created beforehand, and loaded into the system. Then, when you're at-gig, you just switch it on and it boots all the way into PD - like a guitar pedal or any dedicated audio equipment.. but *programmable*!

<br>interface, with maybe a few LEDS or a very small LCD screen for minimal<br>visual feedback. No more laptop to get broken, since it will go in a<br>nice sturdy flightcase, and no more screen to hide behind...</blockquote>
<div><br>Great! I can't wait to (not) see it in action.. :) <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">best,<br>d.<br>
