MIDI / USB Controllers + Sensors

A MIDI or USB controller box allows you to connect Max/MSP/Jitter to the real world. We use the I-CubeX from Infusion Systems. When building sensors to connect to your device a basic knowledge of electronics can be useful - it's often much cheaper to build your own sensors rather than buy them readymade.
