This is way cool. I didn't look it up but I expect the maker will ask quite a bit of money for his love child
Vladimir Kolomiets. Name rings a bell...
Want! Though I'd rather have this one http://www.synth-project.de/animoog.html
Hot damn. Looks like a nave controller is the works. http://www.synth-project.de/navecontroller.html
Why is the video res and sound so terrible? Looks fake to me.
Btw those hardware knobs.....how do they change when switching patches? Turn automatically?
Must be losing a lot of Animoog's expressiveness when playing it with MIDI keyboard. Like when you have poly-pressure set to filter-frequency like for example in the GrittyAttack preset and you have the glide knob all the way up.
I might be wrong though, maybe there are keyboards that translate all that. I know that NDVR have something like that or maybe they are just working on it. But they probably can't be trusted judging by that Mosaik app thing that happened recently that was kinda dodgy...

that's the main problem with self-made hardware controllers (and also with synths not sending parameter values). For bi-directional control, one has to use encoders with LED rings, with a proper MIDI in/out, and a synth that sends CC data.
I saw once motorised knobs in a guitar amp, but that's going to be rather expensive I guess, to find those knobs and build them into a DIY controller.
And of course the keyboard. For Animoog it should be able to send polyphonic aftertouch, and polyphonic pitch bend. This doesn't exist to my knowledge.
That's why I'm not particularly keen on those self-made controllers. They look nice, but don't make use of certain controls, and are only uni-directional. Not knowing the values after a preset change, parameter jumps while operating, not very useful in my opinion.
There are a few keyboard controllers that send poly aftertouch. Think the cheapest way to get in on it is via the CME Xkey.
The rotary controllers themselves work like most store bought midi controllers (without endless rotary encoders and LEDs)—when you move a knob, the synth jumps to the position of the controller's knob. Some have a 'feature' where the control will not activate until you cross over the point the synth is currently set at. Neither situation is wonderful but I don't think that has anything to do with it being DIY.
no, not necessarily. And you're right, there are some synths that need a value to be crossed before the parameter can be changed, these are the special bad ones for uni-directional control. I've been doing this for years with a Doepfer Drehbank (64 CC encoder box), and I'm glad I now have only bi-directional controllers and synths/DAW.
There's the Xkey and the QuNexus for poly AT, but these are finished products. To integrate them into a DIY controller might be quite difficult. And there's no keyboard for polyphonic pitch bend as far as I know.
There is really an advantage to have a touch screen input. Certain things are difficult or impossible to do with hardware knobs and keys.

I'm looking forward to the release of Linnstrument, which will do both.
That said, I do admire the synthproject.de controller - nice mix of physical knobs, physical keys, and mounting of the iPad in a position that makes it easy to use the iPad controls.
@phil999 100% agree, btw, that Animoog is probably best played directly on the glass.
