Yep. Well, in spite of their description of it as a 21st Century 'musical instrument', it really isn't - it takes a sound source input and applies effects to it.

As such, however, it really is pretty fun, and you can really do a wide range of things, from subtle to extremely wild. Would be a great piece of gear for a DJ or someone wanting to manipulate sound in some fashion. You should be able to go check one out at a Guitar Center or similarly well-equipped music store; when I saw it, they had it on a special display so you could play with it...

Cheers,
Jon
