> How many fingers can touch the panel simultaneously?
In theory, there is no such limitation. However, we suggest you not to use more than 10 fingers at once, since our sensor has not been experimented by 11-fingered people yet.

> Can the sensor detect anything else than fingers?
Yes, stylus, ball-points, toes, cat’s paw, etc. Basically any object (except blunt instruments) exerting a sufficient force.

> Does sweat modify sensitivity?
No. We even noticed that the touching sensation is more pleasant with sweaty hands, or when the sensor is slightly wet or greasy.

> What is the activation force?
20 Newtons. A standard computer keyboard activation force is 80 Newtons.

> Can children use the Lemur?
Our kids love to cuddle their Lemurs.

> I am interested in multitouch sensor, but I do not care about music and cannot stand bouncing colorful balls. Where can I get in touch with this technological masterpiece?
Through JazzMutant, France.

> So, if I start taking down my Lemur in order to dismantle the multipoint sensor, will the warranty still be valid?
Don’t even think about it.

> Is the Lemur’s multitouch sensor pressure sensitive?
No.

> How can I clean my Lemur?
With a clean cloth soaked with any kind of non-corrosive spot remover. A slightly wet microfibre cloth will work fine even without the use of chemicals.

> How well does the Lemur handle humidity, smoke, grease and corrosion?
Much better than any computer and than most musical instruments.

> Can I code my own objects?
No. We do our best to create new objects and improve the existing ones by making them always more flexible and configurable for the user. But if you have any suggestions or precise ideas for new objects, please feel free to let us know.

> I am not too keen on Star Trek. Can I customize the object appearance?
No, for the very same reason as above. Although some graphical property parameters can be set (size, color), objects are parts and parcels of the program and cannot be modified.

> Can I display any kind of images (pictures, movies, videogames, wallpapers...) on the Lemur?
No, but you can still adorn your screen with any sticker you want.

> Can I name the objects as I want?
Yes, one of the advantages of the Lemur is the possibility to name freely any object and message. You nonetheless have to conform to a certain amount of syntax rules.

> Can I control my MIDI sequencer or instrument with the Lemur?
Yes you can ! The JazzEditor software works as an OSC to MIDI bridge. (Remains in Version 1.5)
Yes you can ! The JazzDaemon software works as two-way OSC to MIDI bridge. (New in Version 1.6)

> What kind of MIDI messages can the Lemur handle?
All types of standard MIDI messages: Note-on, CC, Program Change, Pitch Bend, Sysex, MIDIClock, etc.

> I have read somewhere that is it necessary to launch a Max patch between JazzEditor and my MIDI application, is that right?
No, it is not necessary to use this stratagem anymore to use MIDI.

> You said that Mac/Win versions of JazzEditor are strictly similar. So why do Windows XP users have to use a MIDI port emulator like LoopBe to receive MIDI data from the Lemur into their application?
Under MacOSX, MIDI application are fully considered as peripherals, like a master keyboard or an external MIDI interface. Software have input and output ports which enable communication between applications. WinXP does not work this way. In order to have two MIDI applications communicate with each other internally, you will need a piece of software that emulates a virtual MIDI interface.

> Is JazzEditor free?
Yes.

> Is there a JazzEditor Linux version?
The Linux version is temporarily out of order. However, it works pretty fine with WINE.
Be careful to switch your graphic card to 16 or 32-bit mode (incompatible with 24-bit mode).

> Can I move objects with the mouse?
Yes, if you keep the E key pressed on your computer’s keyboard.
