Leap Motion gesture control jam (Geco, Reaktor, Live)

First public demo of my Leap Motion setup -- still work in progress.
The objectives are:
- No input (hand moverment), no sound. Just like an instrument.
- No need to look at the computer.
- Audience should somehow see what they hear or hear what they see...

It works like this:
- Leap Motion sends MIDI via Geco to Live
- a Reaktor plugin in Live converts the controllers from Geco to MIDI notes (eight on each axys) and other MIDI controllers
- that signal is fed to an IAC (internal) MIDI bus which acts as MIDI remote input for live
- the notes trigger clips on multiple tracks in live, using the various clip lauch and quantization options
- the clips are very short, they contain mostly one-shot samples or up to four MIDI notes; no looping occurs without hand movement
- two granular Reaktor synths (GRIP*; beat granulation on the left hand and voice on the right hand) are played directly via Geco
- additional sounds come from Reaktor synth Razor and NI Massive

* The GRIP synth for Reaktor is available for free in the Reaktor user library. You need to be a registered Reaktor user to download it: http://www.native-instruments.com/en/community/reaktor-user-library/entry/show/7775/
