---------------------------How much of Yamaha's sound is influenced
by the
400+ patents developed by Stanford's digital musical department
over about 15
years. I believe the project was known as "Sondius."

Interesting. Looks like some of the patents have expired - some were
filed in 1986, that's over 20 years, yes?
Beyond this I cannot elaborate. Probably someone from
CCRMA can
illuminate
the way.

I do want to try my Wacom tablet as a control

Even a
Smartboard would be an interesting way to do
music.
Digital gloves.
A little more costly than I'm ready to spend. I already have two Wacom
tablets.
