I haven't got any speakers on this browsing pc so I haven't a clue how this thing sounds. I like the interface though.

If it was a 6 dimensional touch-sensitive globe I might bite, but this sucks of tik-tackyness-tow.

There is also the monome and quite a few DIY projects that are similar at least in terms of UI.

reminds me on the icon editor of my first Mac, 20 years ago

I like the simplicity of the idea - or may I say the purity of the concept...

Didn't read the full specs, but it can trigger about anything (loops, samples) and possibly deal with other midi events as well, a squared Roland-like sequencer.
