[...] February, we asked what the next unconventional sensor to work its way in to controllers would be. Shortly after that [...]

Right on. How well you’re able to feel what you’re playing is directly proportional to how expressive your music is. Without that, it’s all just “computer music”, as some say.

IMHO: playing music without tactile feedback is like having sex without tactile feedback- not very satisfying for anyone involved ;)

yeah, speaking of physical controller, i think technology is almost all there, no other new hardware incoming.
The next big step will be better interaction with body, more “dumb” user efficiency, and massive use of generic/programable touch screen pannel or space position oriented technology, like accelerometers and IR tools.
This in terms of the near, possible, future.
In the pseudo sci-fi scenario maybe there’ll be neural interface and so on… but these are just inferences.
I know that tactile feedback is critical nowadays, but things are going to change…

It’s fascinating to me how the gamin industry has brought down the cost of new sensor technologies DRAMATICALLY. It’s not just that music is similar to gaming in that it’s all “play”, it’s also a matter of the size of a market, and the millions of people who line up to buy a new gaming product, making 3D and infrared cameras dirt cheap.

It’s nothing revolutionary, but my two cents on my own question is that we need better buttons. I have a whole host of techniques based on the big, “clicky” arcade buttons on the Mojo. I haven’t been able to duplicate them on rubber pads or the small, stiff buttons on most DJ controllers. I want “Music Buttons”!

That was a really great performance. Not sure if that was a custom mapping or just showing all the features of the hardware but controllerism will continue moving forward. With all these new techniques being discovered every week there has to be something to keep up with musicians’ imagination.

I’m still a beginner in this area but I’m always interested in how we interact with technology and I’m planning to study more on the subject. This is Reactable, a pretty cool responsive surface http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm_FzLya8y4

*comparing controllerism TO gaming. *at LEAST.

I’m sorry for the grammar mistakes, I was really excited when I wrote the thing. I still am.

Follow the logic. You’ll find out that the next things as far as DJ controllerism is concerned is that slowly but surely ushering its way being all that desperate for *futuristic* DJing styles, mainly 40-inch transparent mulit-touch screen and somethings that are but in today’s standards, considered rocket science like 3D “floating” holographic projections, motion sensors, brain-computer interfaces and everything else you can think of. Who knows that futuristic style DJ controllerism would have never been so cool than today, right?
