Jumbo-Sized MIDI Sampler Let’s You Muscle Out Beats Like Mario in Giant World

By John Mahoney on August 1, 2008 at 11:15 AM

No matter how good the music is, musicians look kinda lame tapping out little beats on tiny samplers on stage. What is emphatically not lame though is pounding them on 16 giant pressure-sensitive pads with this 340kg sampler rig. It was built for the Warped-tour band Family Force 5 by a musician named bwack, and it packs a 22″ monitor, 10 control knobs, two pizza-sized pitch wheels and a Mac running Ableton to control the whole game. Check it out onstage at the Warped tour below. Giganto-rock!



I want to play this soo badly.
