JazzMutant Lemur is a hardware controller for new media applications featuring a proprietary multitouch LCD touchscreen. The Lemur uses OSC messages to communicate with a Windows or Mac host computer over 100-base T Ethernet. Version 1.5 features an improved JazzEditor that provides more efficient design tools and improved routing of control data — MIDI and OSC — to media applications. Thanks to the Lemur’s extended MIDI control capabilities, audio software applications can update the user interface display while the touch surface is being used. This allows the Lemur to function as a flexible two-way control surface.
