At the end of John Coulton's set, John came out and played the song "Fancy Pants" on some kind of rhythm / beat machine. Does anyone know what that instrument is called (other than a beat machine) and who the manufacturer is?
I actually spoke to JoCo before the final round of the Omegathon and asked him how he pulled it off - he had the Zendrum looped through a laptop, running a program I can't remember the name of... but I'm sure any midi-trigger program will work with it.
The Zendrum outputs MIDI data, to a USB MIDI interface then you use a program like Trigger or Kontakt or DFH to trigger recorded samples from the MIDI data.
I still have fond zen drum memories from PAX East 2010, when they forgot to shut it off after "Mr. Fancypants" and his walking/stomping around the stage set it off. It's on YouTube - go find it! Priceless!
