    Roger Linn got manfacturing together for his multitouch surface controller and is getting prepared for marketing/touch?

  47. aaron says:

    U know what, given the colors (very d. smith-y)… and the history of this site with Linn and DSI, I'm going to go with the upcomming announcment that Roger's new touch surface is going to be distro'd by DSI..

    … Adrenalinn III for iPad?

  50. databot says:

    It's something with an iPhone/iPad. What else is the eye there for? There's also a prominent finger with lines around signifying some sort of power. So it's most definitely a touch interface since its driven by the almighty finger.

    As for the oscillators, I'd just go ahead with the simplest conclusion and say that it's a synth for the iPhone/iPad.

    The image is part of a promotional poster for the digital music horror film coming this winter, Saw Wave. Meemert plays the role of Saw Wave Killer, a madman abducting musicians he has deemed guilty (for using analog gear), and has them solve puzzles. If they fail, or speak in anything but binary, they're doomed to their fate of starring in a Swedish House Mafia music video.

    Truly cruel. Truly.

    Also, Peter plays the part of Danny Glov– I mean, a hell (circuit-)bent detective.
