JazzMutant's Lemur is clearly the most enhanced and innovative controller device ever created for musicians, sound designers and sound engineers, composers, video and multi-media artists, djs and show control operators. Innovative concept, unique and pioneering multitouch sensor technology, multi target networking plus high performance value combined with ease of use are some but few features that place this next-generation controller in a league of its own. The Lemur is a top of the range control surface that breaks from the prior art on several grounds: first and foremost, let's say that its major innovation consists in its brilliant modular graphic interface concept. Its palette of configurable graphic objects enables you to design made-to-measure interfaces. This endows the Lemur with the unique capacity to adapt its behavior according to the application you are controlling: sequencers, modular synthesizers, virtual instruments, VJ software, 3Danimation tools and light control interfaces.

The Lemur's pioneering concept relies on JazzMutant's unique patented multitouch technology. While conventional mice, touchscreens and tablets are limited to single contact points, the Lemur's multi-touch capacity makes it possible for you to use all your ten fingertips to accurately control multiple user-interface objects at once. No sooner have you laid your hands on it than the Lemur appeals to you straight away, as you cannot be but impressed by its amazing responsiveness.

The Lemur is provided with a built-in fast ethernet interface, allowing connection to a single computer or to a whole network. The Lemur can send and receive all types of MIDI data, offering out-of-the-box compatibility with any MIDI software. Moreover, it is one of the first hardware controllers that complies with OpenSoundControl (OSC) protocol, an emerging network-based standard for controllers that has numerous advantages over MIDI: low latency, higher data capacity, 32-bit numerical precision and easy configurability.Supported by a constantly growing number of applications, this protocol opens a new era in the field of real-time control and human-machine interfaces.

The Lemur is also surprisingly easy to use. Not only is it the most powerful multi-purpose controller available on the market, but it is by far the easiest to set up, thanks to its new user-friendly cross-platform software editor. Still, beyond this surface simplicity, the Lemur conceals a great number of advanced features that hold the promise of an ever-widening field of new exploration possibilities.
