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.

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

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.
