This paper mentions various creative midi controllers. Re-enforces the idea of KISS, or my personal lazy developer syndrome. Hacking by design creates playability.
Statement in this paper: “Programmability is a curse”. Why? (MIDI) devices that contain various elements of programmability (the mapping/reconfiguring of buttons/interactions), creates a sea of possibilities, leaving the player waste time by , and i quote, writing papers and experimenting, instead of actually making art projects or compositions. This is very much my own problem, and why i do not enjoy using programming languages such as super collider or tidal cycles. When anything is possible, nothing is special, and I don’t spend enough time exploring what is actually already there.
