I remember when Gabriel Seher demonstrated the Octopus at Chateau Sonore in 2007.

The only problem with that thing is it needs more buttons!

I wonder if they would have been more successful if they built it in a 19 inch rack format. My Octopus isn't exactly 'gig friendly'

But from what I've read the main reason for the breakup of Genoqs is time. As a 2 man project it's surprising that they got as far as they did. But not all is lost, support will be provided for existing machines. And since the software is opensource and done in plain C there is always the possibility of a community project with different or compatible hardware.

Oh, I'm not being critical, just being a smart ass for comedic value of course. Needs more switches and lights too.

This technology needs to be released on an iPad. Then the company would survive.
