Description
The Wooden TouchPad is both an acoustic instrument and an audio controller. Drum pads and trackpads are a great way to access a huge collection of sounds and trigger various media elements with a single tactile interface, but they themselves don’t contribute sound when played. This interface will produce the acoustic sounds of a wooden drum that are heard synchronously with it’s extended melodic functionality.
