i saw this right after surfing around on the monome forums and it made
me think of you folks.

maybe we could use the scroll wheel as an encoder...

damn thats cool!

EDIT - i even posted a link on the reaktor forum, thanks for the link!

oh man... might be time to get an iPod.

call it an iPd

not to jump the gun but I'm currently developing a method to control 
Ableton live using my iPod touch. anyone willing to offer some help 
would be appreciated as I'm stuck! currently im able to generate OSC 
signals from the ipod but unable to translate this into anything 
meaningful with ableton.  If anyone has an idea for converting OSC to 
MIDI signals similiar to with AblemonoMe feel free to email: 
agarcia3@ithaca.edu.

Thanks!
