Very intesting
Years ago i had an idea for a musical instrument that i wish someone would build.
I got the idea because i used to have to leave the music making on my computer to go to work. When i was on the train everyone is plugged into an ipod or whatever and im sitting there thinking all these people are listening but no one is making music. Just because i'm in a public place i still want to privately make music and get inspiration from the envorinment around me.
The gadget would have consisted of a piece of equipment maybe the size of a mobile fone or something and would have had earphones and 2 periphirals that would have been wore like gloves or sensitive pads on your fingertips. The hard drive main piece of equipment would have like say an android version of cubase or whatever DAW you used on your computer and you controlled the menu by the fingerpads and audio interface ( when i say audio interface i mean the computer talks to you to confirm selections and stuff)
You could be working on a track and if you have to leave you would transfer you track to your device and wherever you are you can continue making the track. Using the fingerpads for rythyms or assign each finger to a particular sound or note. Once you got used to the interface you could be making tracks with ease on the train while everyone else is listening to music
Please someone build this! If it gets built i want royalties though
