Why

Earlier I had made a touchpad-midicontroller of sorts, see this link;

This project is the reinvention/redo/rewind of that project.

• ps2 touchpad for data input
• led matrix for data output
• rotary encoder(?) for extra datainput / mode switching

• wristframe? or instrument ...

How

Just a sketch and mockup of the 'instrument' idea;
