Ean played Richie Hawtin‘s ENTER. party at Ibiza’s Space club last week – and it seems like they had a bit of time on their hands to develop a concept for a brand new controller (although it might not make it past Milton Bradley’s legal department). Check out their design in this video from Hawtin’s camp:
Actually, if you wired up a Makey Makey to a Twister mat, you’d probably be able to make a pretty fun variant on the classic party game.
Read a great writeup on the ENTER. Experience over at XLR8R.
Good one guys I like the sytle and Creativity you looked so happy keep it up!
the boys are getting old and showing off their bald patches on their heads
this was cringeworthy
What was that?
Would actually be pretty cool if you minimized it to a rectangle and had it as a footpedal.
Gettin’ intimate, Did Richie manage a sneaky tug on the Jacobs?
my girlfriend made a controller like this with a DDR pad as well…she used the Xbox version with a USB adapter into the computer and then through some controller drivers to turn the key presses into midi notes to trigger samples out of a drum rack.
she basically only kept the circuit board of the pad and built an entirely new playing surface.
love it. we used a dance dance revolution pad a few times in a live show like this, super easy via one of these adaptors:

if you were committed to twister i’m sure you could strip the sensors out of a few and wire up your own.
bwahahha nice one. Couldn’t you hack a Nintendo Power pad… http://en.academic.ru/pictures/enwiki/78/NES-power-pad.jpg
hahaha I’m actually still working on making something similar to this…. when its done, i’ll post the details!
