GECO
Multi-dimensional MIDI expression through hand gestures
We've invested a lot of time and effort to provide you with one of the easiest and most powerful solutions to interact with MIDI and OSC through hand gestures.
Our custom multi-staged processing engine ensures an extremely low processing overhead and near zero latency, while still providing you with beautiful real-time visual feedback and powerful customization capabilities.
GECO v2 is now available!
IMPORTANT: GECO v2 relies on the latest Ultraleap Gemini v5 software.Please make sure you download and install it.
When using the Leap Motion Controller 1, only v5 will work, later versions only work with the newest Leap Motion Controller.
