New Musical Instrument Monday: The JazzMutant Lemur

Here's an interesting musical instrument controller that looks something like a controller program on an iPad called the Lemur by JazzMutant. It's actually a multitouch controller for sequencers, synthesizers, virtual instruments and even lighting. I'm not exactly sure why they call it "The jazz instrument for the 21st century" since I see it more for electronic music, but it's a good marketing phrase.

I could see this as a great mixing tool by assigning EQ and effects parameters to the various control points, but it would probably take some time getting used to if you're used to working in a traditional manner. Regardless, check it out. It's pretty cool.
