Leap Motion Controlling Music via Gestures in Airspace Geco Software sending MIDI + OSC to your instruments + SoundMorph Timeflux

I posted about Leap Motion earlier – this time it is a Max Addition to Ableton Live to be controlled by the Leap Motion Controller – looks a bit like dBEam but it is in fact a bit more than that – so it is more in the Kinect category of controllers than measuring a distance alone.
