[PD] joystick-based interactive musical instruments..

That's funny, I too was inspired by Michel Waisvisz's The Hands

This the joystick/mouse instrument that I made using Pd:

The whole process inspired me to write the [hid] toolkit to make the  
process easy and fluid, like a rapid prototype for controllers.
