Wouldn't it be funny if he forgets he's using solid chemical laser and sticks his hand in it like that and the laser beam shoot holes in it?

Cool effect but the sound isn't that great and he plays like the same 3 tones over and over and over and over and over and over..........

For some reason, I see the Blue Man Group being one of the first to utilize something like this in there shows...

What were you expecting? Bach? It's just a demo of its functionality. I'm sure with time it could be worked to emulate a variety of sounds.

Nice! I want one.. but with more sounds.

Really cool in a techno-y kind of way

Its Musica and the cosmic harp come to soothe the Robotech masters clones.

French composer Jean Michel Jarre has been using one in his concerts since 1981. He uses it mostly for the song "Second Rendez-vous" Info
