Lemur Input Device



-   Flat device that has a 12-inch multi-touch-sensitive LCD screen and an overall footprint the size of a large laptop. 
-   It contains its own processor for graphics and mathematics, so it uses no host CPU power.

-   An audio tool.






-   A highly-customizable multi-touch device.

-   Unlimited touch points.

-   From French company JazzMutant which serves as a controller for musical devices such as synthesizers and mixing consoles as well as for other media applications such as video performances. 

-   Creating an Interface

= Comes with its own proprietary software called the JazzEditor to create interfaces. 

= Users can build interfaces using a selection of 15 different objects (including fader, knobs, pads and sliders), group them as modules and arrange them using as many pages as needed. 

= Each object can then receive any MIDI or OSC attribute. 

= Particularity is the ability to modify the physical behavior of each object (for instance adding or removing friction on faders). 

= The internal memory of the Lemur enables the storage of many interfaces, each one controlling a specific software for instance.

-   Role is equivalent to that of a MIDI controller in a MIDI studio setup, except that the Lemur uses the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol, a high-speed networking replacement for MIDI.

-   Low latency, higher data capacity, 32-bit numerical precision and easy set-up if compare to MIDI. 

-   Supported by an emerging number of applications, this protocol opens a new era in the field of real-time control and human-machine interfaces. 

-   A controller that thinks ahead and is able to adapt with the ever-changing landscape.

-   The controller is especially well-suited for use with Reaktor and Max/MSP, tools for building custom software synthesizers.

-   Enhance that precision, by zooming-in on any control. 

-  To save and navigate through all your interfaces with the touch of a button

-   Can tweak the 32 bands of a vocoder, control the most complex polyphonic granular synthesizer, or even generate crazy rhythmic patterns with the MultiSlider.

-   Integrate your lemur in a fast network

= Connect numerous computers and Lemurs on a local area network and make them all dance together.

= Faster data flow means seamless communication.

= The Lemur's fast Ethernet interface ensures a data flow hundreds of times faster than your average MIDI interface. 

= The Lemur has a built in 100BaseT interface, which means that the Lemur is capable of exchanging thousands of control messages at once with your application.

-   Complete the Picture

= JazzDaemon is a background application running on your host computer that handles MIDI communication between the Lemur and any number of MIDI applications or devices connected to your host computer. 

= This single interface allows you to control the track levels of your sequencer with one hand while playing your hardware sampler or virtual instrument with the other. Multi-tasking at its finest!

-   New Feature in details.
= Organized Container objects with tabs - Allow you to greatly improve interface layouts and ergonomics.
= Enhanced control of all your envelopes with the new Breakpoint object - Allows you to see exactly how you are changing the sound and you can easily add extra breakpoints with a simple double touch by offers total control of synthesizer or sampler envelopes with a multi-segment envelope editor.

= Faster set-up with the Alias feature - Duplicate a controller object that sends exactly the same information to your computer as the original with Alias. 

= Mouse and keyboard control - Lemur's objects can be used to remotely control the mouse cursor or computer keyboard.
= Acute precision with the new Gesture object - Emulates a track pad control with advanced gesture recognition and has three novel ways to interact with your sound. Pinch, rotate or trace your fingers to send different control messages to your computer.
= Intuitive design with new Lemur Menu object - It's a new pop-up menu selection tool offering a list of items from which to choose from.

= Easier interface design with JazzEditor.
= Extended scripting abilities - In the JazzEditor, a new Multiline script pane opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Any changes in your Live set are automatically reflected on the Lemur. 


Here is a video that show on Lemur Input Device =)








Manipulate buttons and knobs for some tasks or programs by using mouse nowadays are very troublesome and inconvenient. Somehow with the technology, there are many innovation that let us input conveniently such as multi touch by surface interface. The innovation of surface interface can be act as an input device which allows us to interact directly with the surface that we touch.

The Lemur input device is a hardware controller which applies the innovation of surface interface. It is a new development in music technology. By having Lemur input device as a control surface in live performance feels much more like playing an actual instrument than simple turning knobs or moving sliders. The Lemur also offers new method to communicate with the digital musical instruments which are not comprehended in physical hardware and allow for new creative possibilities.
