Dimension Beam

2000-04-13 by thudson@tomy.net

I just inquired about the dimension beams. There are five
left and the price is $750. New features have been added
such as user-definable chromatic scales. I'm  seriously
debating the purchase of one, and would like comments
from those that have them, and from those who might
know of cheaper alternatives. As a guitarist, the concept
of "gesture controllers" while playing is just too 
irresistable. 

I don't remember who posted the info (and had two of them),
but can you give me an idea of:

- Controllable area (feet, inches, ?)
- Precision?

I just have this picture in my head of running guitar into
a ring modulator along w/ VCO, and controlling the pitch of 
the VCO with the position of my guitar neck. Of course, at
the same time controlling straight/RM mix via a foot pedal.
And throw in my GR50 outputing MIDI from my guitar patched
to my yet-to-be-shipped expressionist patched to most of
my yet-to-be-shipped MOTM modules. Oh yeah, and some 
portamento on the VCO, maybe controllable by a second 
pedal...

Thomas, wishing to become one with his MOTM...

Wait, how about a "nostril-flare converter." Or a way to
convert those funny faces a guitarist makes into voltages.
"when I wince like this it controls my VCF cutoff frequency."

Okay, I'm getting crazy waiting on my next three rows to ship...
