Most of the product we make in our Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) line only make an impression when actually touched and played. There are other touch and pressure products out there but none that use FSRs, and when people play our FSR modules they are typically very surprised with the sensitivity and control range that is possible with them. This is very hard to convey with a demo video. I try to go to as many "synth meet" types of events and trade shows as possible to allow many people the opportunity to get their hands on them. I have also loaned and sold units directly at dealer cost to a few users who promise to make videos with them. I would love to come up with a loaner/try-out system that would be safe from abuse but haven't come up with a good method yet. All I can do is hope more brick and mortar stores will open up and carry our gear.
