September 19th, 2009 – Tim Exile and Native Instruments have teamed up to release “The Finger”, an improvisational piece of software that allows you to apply effects using a piano MIDI controller. Based upon Kore, it allows you to map and layer effects live, essentially playing the effects with the keyboard.

You need Kore 2, Reaktor, or the free Kore Player to run The Finger. It retails for $79 US, and is pretty good value if you ask me. Sure you could map and create your own effects, but this is pretty powerful as a live tool straight out of the box. Check out the video below of Tim Exile demoing The Finger.
