I was recently explaining to a friend the "musical instrument" (more of an effects/oscillator/synthesizer type thing) that someone posted a link to on this message board several months ago, but I couldn't find the link or the proper words to adequately explain it (or google it). So I am asking for all your help. Here goes. It had an interface in which one places an object on a flat blue light board thingy and rotates it to adjust the [oscillations?]. The objects were clear and round. When several of them were placed on the light board they acted as nodes connecting the waveforms and manipulated the sound based on spatial relations to one another. I believe it produced a similar sound to early 70's synthesizers, although I'm not sure about that. I don't know the jargon, am not a musician and I was trying to explain this to someone who is a musician. They responded as though I were speaking Greek gibberish. So even if this is completely wrong, I figured someone here would remember the video. Please re-post it, or email me the link if anyone has it. Thanks.
