Well, the stuff I would like to do with it would not be using MIDI. I have a
program that I would like to control via some continuous controller, it is a
granular synthesis program, and each parameter has 6 limits from which the
actual parameter is derived. So, basically, I would like to not only be able
to produce some continuous data, but also be able to easily select which
parameter I will be controlling at any given time.
I was looking at the Wii, and thought that it might be something useful. I
saw R Boulange (sp?) perform with a Radio Baton in the 90's, and was very
interested in that, except that they went for somewhere around 4000$... So,
I am still looking...

Thanks,

Mike
