1. MIDI Saxophone
Think brass instruments have been underrepresented in newer musical genres? Take a blast from the past and tie it in with a blast from the future on the Akai EWI 4000 MIDI Saxophone!
This device is seriously expressive, with touch sensitive keys, breath sensor for dynamics and wireless MIDI connectivity.
...And most importantly, how could you possibly look cooler than donning a jazzy hat, wearing your favourite blacked out shades and playing some smooth jazz on this baby? Or perhaps some hardcore gabber. As always with MIDI, there's no limitation to what you can play!
2. Otamatone
Think that conventional instruments are too boring? How about this fantastic device that pretty much exemplifies the phrase "only in Japan".
With a ribbon controller for pitch and squeezing the little guy's face for velocity, this really is one of the more unusual devices out there.
3. GypsyMIDI
The name is horrendously deceptive - I don't think any old gypsy could easily afford one of Sonalog's MIDI controllers at £480 a piece, but with the device actually attatching to your body to trigger the music in an exoskeletal musical combination, this is certainly one of the more impressive looking devices.
However, if you want to complete your raving terminator look, then how about...
4. MIDIGun
With a distance sensor coming out of the barrel, a crossfader, several knobs, a scratch wheel, accellerometer for motion-based alteration of parameters and far too many other cool things to think about, this device is pretty much the ultimate MIDI toy. Particularly if you're making gangsta rap - I can think of no more appropriate live instrument.
