Well, the stuff I would like to do with it would not be using MIDI. I have a program that I would like to control via some continuous controller, it is a granular synthesis program, and each parameter has 6 limits from which the actual parameter is derived. So, basically, I would like to not only be able to produce some continuous data, but also be able to easily select which parameter I will be controlling at any given time. I was looking at the Wii, and thought that it might be something useful. I saw R Boulange (sp?) perform with a Radio Baton in the 90's, and was very interested in that, except that they went for somewhere around 4000$... So, I am still looking...
