you sure that owning four lemur's borders on "fiscal irresponsibility?" i'm thinking its more jealousy that someone has four of them. ;)
personally i don't know if i would have included really any of the items listed as being unique IxD. the novation itself is nothing revolutionary. just a keyboard with a collection of pots and faders. it does show the values at the top, but i've found those values to be only useful if you are programming CC messages and values. otherwise the computer screen is really giving you everything you need. i recently started using one of the behringer bcf2000 (8 faders pots and buttons) and programmed the cc messages specifically for how i use ableton. so this of course means I use ableton. i also use cubase, as well as other outboard recording equipment, and honestly ableton is for an entirely different animal than cubase. there are things one can do that the other can't and vice versa. when it comes to music software that has created a different user experience, i think max/msp would be the place to look as it gives you a visual approach to how things are connected (similar to yahoo's pipes). outside of the lemur the most impressive interface to me is the monome (http://monome.org) because of it's ability to react how i want/need it too. one of the members of bjork's band is using an interesting control surface, though it comes across more as performance art to me. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
