Hi Wayne
I checked out the Tactex at NAMM last year and it definately holds alot
of
interesting possibilities. For my money and purposes however, The new
MIDIman Surface one, which uses the same technology, is a better bet.
It is
configured as a more standard mixer interface, so there isn't as much
rudimentary programing to be done with it. If you're looking for a solid
control interface with tons of options, get the surface one, but if low
level number crunching turns your crank, get the Tactex.

Subject: [microsound] Tactex pads for performance control
Micronauts...
Has anyone out there used the Tactex MTC Express
(http://www.tactex.com/products.html)
for electronic music production, either live or recorded? I've been
casting
around for the ideal
performance controller, and have tried solutions like pen-based mouse
pads
without being
satisfied. The Tactex sounds like it might be just what I'm looking
for,
but I'm hoping to hear
at least a few third-party testimonials before I spend the $500.
I'd be especially interested in talking to anyone who has written their
own
custom software
over the Tactex API and has stories to tell about it.
Thanks!

PS: Sorry if this message doesn't wallow deep enough in
pseudo-philosophical muck or
technological guilt mongering. I'm actually just out to keep making
the
experimental music
I love, albiet as cheaply as possible.
