Wow! Never seen "encoders over a display" before. This could be revolutionary in so many different scenarios beyond MIDI controllers. First scenario that comes to mind are car user interfaces. Mixing screens with physical controllers is such an innovative idea. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, the first idea that came to mind (after music/light controllers) was indeed car user interfaces.
Maybe some cool interfaces for home automation too, and I can also imagine controllers for factories or workshops—pretty much anywhere with lots of parameters to control.
But really, if you have other scenarios in mind, please share, I’m very interested, as you can imagine ;)
