200e

Lightning is a very advanced midi controller that translate gestures
in three dimensional space into midi but its not just X,Y,Z like the
222e, Lightning is a much more versatile programmable instrument. You
can divide space into individual zones, it detects strikes in
different directions tha can trigger notes, you can do "strums" and
pitch can be set to follow certain scales etc etc etc. Lightning can
be controlled with the wands its usually pictured with, but i think
the 222e rings will work as well, there were some other kinds of
devices to swing in air as well made for the first two versions of
Lightning.

This is a description of Lightning II:
