Thanks to the 250ish people who entered... the winner is @RossGallagherMusic Enjoy your new MIDI controller! Once again, many thanks to the subscriber who recommended this product to me. I couldn't find the original comment, but this is such a well designed MIDI controller, and I'm glad you brought it to my attention!
These are MIDI disrupters! Just developed a MIDI controllable Teensy T4 Laser Synth PCB + MIDI mixer + Reaper 7 + 22" & 17" touch screens + 2 X 3W RGB laser projectors (Laserium living room 😜). Your product reviews are excellent food for thought to be added to my list of gear. Thanks, Scott!
@scottuhlmusic I hope you know this is serving as the product manual on the M2 for many folks. Thanks so much for this as well as your other midi related videos - I have learned a lot! Looking forward to any more use case vids on the M2 you come up with.
That's a pretty comprehensive review, thanks! The one thing I feel that's missing is LEDs on the footswitch pedals to give an indication what is selected when stomping some switch, like for instance the Pirate MIDI controllers have. In live action, I don't have more time, eyesight and brain power than to think "oh, red LED, solo mode".
I'm using Gig Performer on my laptop, and use the widgets (with their own lights) within it to show me which buttons are currently on. So, with GP I have a workaround.
After getting the M2 and an XY controller, I’m now getting the wireless 6button footswitch and another XYcontroller AND two of the EC (rotary) wireless controllers. My setup is so perfect for my rig now. Thanks for the discount codes, and for such an informative video! Yours is by far the best video for this product line. I wish they would release a ton more vids about it. Sleeper product of the year for me. Thanks again.
This ought to be the ultimate Midi controller.... After I looked at your clip I needed to order exactly what your give away was... M1, F10w and the EC controller.... Seems really amazing, hope that it is that too! But from your clip I believe that it is! Just to be able to have your multi effect on your desk and control it by midi wireless through the footcontroller and even that your can change parameters through the EC one... Just amazing! Then I saw somewhere that someone used a metallic beltclip for the EC and YX controller and have it on your strap, that will work! Really nice clip, good one! And for Luminite, you really outdone yourselves! Also to a price which is fair, not cheap, but compared to what it does.... Nice!
It is nice to see a MIDI company taking into account the modern UI of guitar modeler technology in using setlists and scenes. I use the Nektar Pacer to control some sound effects (and Super Mario Kart), and it works...but is big. I also rely on color/text to know what I am clicking, so having a visual display helps in knowing what I am clicking.
I had the Pacer as well, and I agree. I was never able to use it as I wanted to just because of its size and weight. Not that it was bad, but it is not pedalboard friendly as the Graviton is.
Super Mario Kart You didn’t spend much time on the cv/relay box. It’s awesome. I am able to switch from clean to dirty and turn reverb on and off on my analog tube amp that doesn’t have any midi. Very cool!
I've played Super Mario Kart right from the 1st version, always a blast, how can you not love it. This Midi controller eco-system looks absolutely amazing.
Scott you had me at Midi…. This is so freaking weird.. I have been working on my own midi controller using an arduino… now you found this…. Thank you… Scott .. Hey Man.. I have been following you for awhile now .. gig performer / stagetrax… blah blah blah…man you are always one step ahead of me… I know your a busy guy…I just got picked up by a local band In Chicago with some other professional musicians…and I have been looking into new pedal board ideas…. You are the man I would like to speak to… if you got the time…I got the dime…just let me know … thanks
Thanks for following the channel John! Glad you’ve found it so helpful. I am available for consultations which can be booked on my website (link in the description)
Thanks for the coupon code! Just grabbed a Graviton M2, two F10W foot switches, and an XY. Going to be running Ableton with them for looping, controlling some effects pedals and rack gear. M2 center stage, and an F10W for each side of the stage. Will keep the XY on my bass to switch songs. Stoked on how easy the programming will be!
This is awesome and a great alternative to the ultra expensive and hard to find (in Europe) Morningstar controllers, plus they're super affordable for what they offer!
A midi controller like this would pair well with my groups concert rig. We just started implementing synth pedal effects with our newest “Super Mario Kart” arrangement as well as some new VGM music we plan to cover. Gonna keep doing so research as to how I can optimize midi with our stuff but this a a great eye opener on how effective a good controller can be. Thanks!
It’s amazing how you can program everything on device. I have the Morningstar mc8 and i love it, but this one runs laps around it (like a Super Mario Kart pilot)
Super Mario Kart: I’m thinking this device sounds great! I’ve been using a Morningstar MC6 for years and have wanted to upgrade to the MC 6 Pro, but this appears to blow that out of the water with flexibility and price. Great video!
Interesting. I think the morningstar has a few aces too: - Midi Library for controlling many devices - Desktop / Tablet / phone editor (Seems a bit more comfortable than the small touch screen) This luminite looks really cool though especially with all the connecting devices. But without the above mentioned features, it feels a bit cumbersome.
I'm a little German musician with a little band, and I have to give it a lot of praise for your videos, they've already helped us with a few things, especially when it comes to low budgets So Thank you and I guess I Like To Play Super Mario Kart :D
I'm new to guitar MIDI (but not new to Super Mario Kart), and I gotta say, this came at the perfect time. I was just about to pull the trigger on a Morningstar MC6 Pro and, while the Mortrix looks great, I can't justify the price. This looks to be the best of both worlds and a great jumping off point for anyone new to MIDI. Nice work, Luminite!
Great video Scott - yes, I am "OK" with MIDI programming and I can still understand this video, so good job keeping it targeted to us beginners. The encoders seem to be a great offering!
Wow! I can't believe all that this can do. I was also surprised when you showed the prices; I expected the components would cost a lot more than they do. Excellent video, Scott. Well worth the time to watch it. Super Mario Kart.
A company like luminitefx is right up my alley, tech'd out to the max and they also seem to have all the different MIDI scenarios figured out and not have to wait for suggestions from people and then they release the corresponding updates. Also good to see that they are all backordered now for a few weeks and Scott I hope your video and influence has a hand in that.
What a well designed MIDI Controller and Accessories. It is so easy to get lost and end up with a MIDI headache, but I was actually able to follow along. Good job Luminite and Scott! I'd love to see them in my Super Mario Kart. 💥
Enjoyed this video! thanks as always for your insight and your explanation of how you set things up, and of course your considerations and priorities when setting up for life gigs. Appreciate you! Baby got back.
Super Mario Cart drove over to my house with this incredible device! I really am amazed at this very well thought out product. And Scott, your vids are so well done! Bravo!
As someone who has wandered through the MIDI programming valleys, I only wish there was a channel like yours when I was starting out. Thanks for all of the deep dives and documentation for products that are often severely lacking in info, even in other reviews *cough* Oh, and Super Mario Kart … Purple Monkey Dishwasher …
MIDI is a bit daunting to me yet but something I definitely would like to get into with my HX Stomp similar to how you're running yours. I'll need to revisit your other MIDI detail video again but super cool to see a device like this and how you make it look very easy to setup. Great video as always! Super Mario Kart was my favorite when I was a kid! :)
Great video. Wish I had seen this 2 years ago, Super Mario Kart, as I currently use an Ampero Hotone 4 button Midi controller (via USB) with 4 extension buttons to control our Ableton software and XR-18, etc. Thanks for keeping us informed about new equipment!
My kid is addicted to Super Mario Kart right now. So we've been racing each other for weeks. He's almost good enough to beat me. Besides that this would be freaking awesome for my bands light show. Plus changing all our presets on our helix's. Thanks for doing these giveaways. You definitely are my favorite gear channel. I hope I win this one.
Wow it's amazing. I only wish instead of the 4 TRS that it had loops there to control non- midi pedals. That would have been PERFECT! Thanks for the details on it!
More than my usual offering for the algo But when I first started getting into music gear, MIDI seemed excessive and not really a great way to utilize function on your gear, but this is the type of stuff just shows how versatile it can really be. Thank you for showing me the way.
But the alternative was to have all your expensive gear out front and tap dance through the set while stage divers kept trampling everything to shreds. I've used MIDI since the mid 90's.
I have seen these before and I was surprised that you have not yet reviewed them. These look awesome and now with you explaining all the magic I might look into getting one of these! Now off I go to a friend's house to play Super Mario Kart, I may even interest him about the controller too!
Yet another terrific and helpful video! What an awesome midi controller. Agreed that it is great to be able to program all of its deep features with just its display. Though hopefully, perhaps a software app could be in the future? -that could help speed the setup of multiple devices and a few hundred stage traxx songs. Then, I would definitely install it into my Super Mario Kart!
Excellent review, Scott. This is a game changer. I’m running an Ampero 2 Stage on a small board with a chocolate midi controller right now but I think I’m going to run the M1 on a magnetic clamp on my mic stand with the F6w on the board. Any idea if you can do page up/ down with songbook pro for this?
If your device accepts commands to page up and down with midi, you should be good! And I like the Sheeran looper for sure. There is one big glitch if you turn on quantizing, but other than that it’s pretty sweet!
Great Vid! Been using Bome midi Translator Pro to enhance midi capability on my older foot controller but the M2 does a lot of that stuff in the box - Super Mario Kart
Ive had the M1 for months maybe I will get around to trying to use it never messed with midi and all the configurations go here save here this page be nice to learn it but until I really get a grasp on how to use
Agreed this is a killer explanation on Graviton that’s why I purchased one it does a lot and touch screen like a cell phone I’m a disabled player my legs have no feeling so the touch screen was ideal and switch applied to the guitar I will look over all this some more because this would help me tremendously
This midi controller looks so amazing. Im kinda new to midi but this would boost my live gig immediatly. It looks super cool just like super mario cart.
It’s absurd how interested I am in all the gadgets that you use, it is like we search for the same things. Super Mario Kart is a cool game actually haha
This is really cool! The M1 unit with a wireless footswitch on the floor would be a cool way to control amp sims and have the touchscreen reachable on a desk for programming and visual feedback. Would it be possible or feasible to add an expression pedal wirelessly so it can sit on the floor away from the M1 unit with something like a CME wireless midi adapter?
Great video, Scott. This looks like an amazing setup. I've been fascinated with Midi since the 70s, but only recently started to work with it. Your videos have helped in my deeper understanding. Presently I'm using a Midi Captain for patch and snapshots selection on a Helix LT. I then use the LT's command center to send CC/PC signals to my GR55. While the Midi Captain in Super Mode is easy to program with my computer, this is substantially easier with the touchscreen. Go Super Mario Kart!
Damn. This system is amazing. Would be the perfect addition to my current setup. Thanks to whoever suggested this for you, and of course for the in-depth review of this amazing gadget. Super Mario Kart
Sort of looks like the Quad cortext , even the graphics. Can't wait to dive into midi one day. There's a part in my live set where I need to leave center stage and run back to the pedal board to switch to leads. Would be great to have that programed. Super Mario kart weeeeooooooooow
Your videos time to value you added is always great no matter the length. Super Mario Kart is life extending grey cell therapy. Can't wait to see what you show us next.
This is FUNtastic! your videos are so informative, a real gold mine. I'm a developper and I can program most of the features of this device with the mididings API and use any MIDI hardware generation; Adding this device to my setup is now a no brainer, only for the EC/XY controllers and the fair price! My bad is that It could be very usefull for, us, programmers if we know if the device is detected on LINUX OS by ALSA or JACK. We never know if so, we have to buy the device before and check the result... don't forget LINUX users please!
Excellent video. The latest software update includes a new Stomp Mode for sending MIDI data without changing preset. I am sure this mode would be of interest to a lot of guitarists like me who want to use it to control plugins or digital multifx like the Helix range. Any chance you might have a look at Stomp mode and do a video on it?
My version of Super Mario Kart is when I get a handful of major changes 15min before services start. Greeting people becomes my "power up boxes" shake a hand and keep moving. The toddlers and pre-schoolers are like random green shells and those needing the changes/help are the red shells that chase me down. Hectic? Yes, but the challenge can be fun at times to find out how much I can do in short notice.
I think it may have been me who mentioned the Graviton in one of the comments. Honestly, this thing appeals to me more than the Morningstar. It's great that you put out a video on it. What is out there was short videos, but a more in-depth video was needed. Although I am a hobbyist at best, I appreciate your take on gear since your reviews are more sensible than others. Super Mario Kart was a lot of fun!
@@ScottUhlMusic I just sold a Nektar Pacer, which was good when it came out, but also very heavy and you needed the online app to program it. That plus your discount code...it seems I might be getting one of this soon.
Great content as always, Scott. I really want to start implementing MIDI into my live shows but it's very complicated... Thanks for making it much easier! It would be cool to program a MIDI controller to play Super Mario Kart
Looks a fantastic unit and ecosystem! Love love love the idea of pressing only one button for each part of each song, keeps it simple for live use! Do you think you can control Super Mario Kart with it?
Great video! I'm building my first MIDI powered pedal board right now and I'm wondering if I shoudl get this or the MC6 Pro! Could you maybe make a video comparing the two and maybe some others as well? One thing i love to do after jam sessions with my roommates is to play Super Mario Kart together :)
I need to see some comparison vids with the Morningstar and Bridge units. Currently using an MC8... The peripherals here look good but I'm not seeing a loop switcher like the ML10X.
@@ScottUhlMusic Fair enough. The tricky bit is each subjective video is by it's nature linked to the reviewers particular use. Whilst I know how I use mine and what I would like to be able to do, I don't know what I don't know..... It's clearly a lot harder than 'here's OD X & Y' We're at a point where we need a spread sheet for the functions and cross platform connectivity....tick the boxes. For example, the ML10X is a great extension to the MC range but can I still use it effectively with the Graviton? I really like the stand alone touch screen.... can I use it with the MC8 as a visual and functional extension at hand height? Some manufacturers will embrace other ecosystems and some won't for a variety of reasons. Not buying $Ks of potentially obsolete gear is the key objective.
WOW this thing is awesome! I was afraid the price would be rather high given what it offers but this just knock the Morningstar solution out of the water! I only just converted over to iPad since the M-Vave Chocolate wasn't working with my Android tablets so I can control my X32 Rack and this opens me up to migrating from BandHelper to StageTraxx. You were so right on the ROI of paying a bit more to get all of this tech simplifying your life. Now I just need the right DMX solution to get my lighting integrated and will be checking that other video of yours again to re-evaluate. That OSC support should make X32 control even easier going forward We're off to the races in Super Mario Kart! Cheers!
Man this thing looks like an updated mini liquid foot for a fraction of the cost! This would play well with my Fractal rig I bet. Hopefully as well as I can play Super Mario Kart. Good vid as usual Scott.
Such a cool tool! I wonder if you could figure out a way to hook that up to a gaming console to play *super mario kart* with only midi! That would be so neat
Man I love how this new midi controller works! It all make sense! I just remembered one of my all time favorite game which is Super Mario Cart. Cheers to your channel as always! ❤
Oh man! This is the end-all-be-all of midi foot switches! Here I am using separate midi switches/ controllers for different devices or making other changes changes with my hands like a chump 😂 Great video, Scott! Super Mario Kart 😊
hey Scott. Amazing work again. Thank you. I'm going to put it simply: Luminite Graviton M2 or Morningstar MC6 pro? Which one would you go for? (used as a MIDI footswitch for pedalboard and live...often...)
I need this in my life!! Even more so than Super Mario Kart!! Seriously, I've been dreaming of controlling my rig with MIDI! This would be beyond perfect. If I don't win, I'll be buying one!! Edit: spelling
OMG!!! This is exactly what I’ve been searching for. We currently are trying to control presets, patches as well as lighting and video cues. It’s been a nightmare so far, but since watching this video, this looks perfect. And I think it’s small enough to fit in the trunk of a Super Mario Kart 🤘
Thanks to the 250ish people who entered... the winner is @RossGallagherMusic Enjoy your new MIDI controller!

Bought one , thanks for the coupon. Btw check out with cme team if the ble works (I will test too) maybe another video ;)
These are MIDI disrupters!
Just developed a MIDI controllable Teensy T4 Laser Synth PCB + MIDI mixer + Reaper 7 + 22" & 17" touch screens + 2 X 3W RGB laser projectors (Laserium living room 😜).

Analog tap output is probably to control devices which accept an external analog tap button, some older delay and modulation pedals do this.
Ah good to know!

Very cool product. Have you tried to trigger loops samples or synth chords (like the ones in Super Mario Kart) with it?
I haven’t, but if the sample software responds to midi, it will work 🤘🤘
Great video, Scott. This looks like an amazing setup. I've been fascinated with Midi since the 70s, but only recently started to work with it. Your videos have helped in my deeper understanding. Presently I'm using a Midi Captain for patch and snapshots selection on a Helix LT. I then use the LT's command center to send CC/PC signals to my GR55. While the Midi Captain in Super Mode is easy to program with my computer, this is substantially easier with the touchscreen. Go Super Mario Kart!
Damn. This system is amazing. Would be the perfect addition to my current setup. Thanks to whoever suggested this for you, and of course for the in-depth review of this amazing gadget. Super Mario Kart
Sort of looks like the Quad cortext , even the graphics. Can't wait to dive into midi one day. There's a part in my live set where I need to leave center stage and run back to the pedal board to switch to leads. Would be great to have that programed. Super Mario kart weeeeooooooooow
New to midi controllers for use by guitar players. Mind blown. Thanks!!!
Your videos time to value you added is always great no matter the length. Super Mario Kart is life extending grey cell therapy. Can't wait to see what you show us next.
This is FUNtastic! your videos are so informative, a real gold mine.
I'm a developper and I can program most of the features of this device with the mididings API and use any MIDI hardware generation; Adding this device to my setup is now a no brainer, only for the EC/XY controllers and the fair price! My bad is that It could be very usefull for, us, programmers if we know if the device is detected on LINUX OS by ALSA or JACK. We never know if so, we have to buy the device before and check the result... don't forget LINUX users please!
I love all the new midi gear going around. Can you run Super Mario Kart on the luminite? Maybe that'll go on the next firmware update...
Excellent video. The latest software update includes a new Stomp Mode for sending MIDI data without changing preset. I am sure this mode would be of interest to a lot of guitarists like me who want to use it to control plugins or digital multifx like the Helix range. Any chance you might have a look at Stomp mode and do a video on it?
Nice! I have so many videos to do right now, so I won't be able to get around to it, but that sounds really cool!
My version of Super Mario Kart is when I get a handful of major changes 15min before services start. Greeting people becomes my "power up boxes" shake a hand and keep moving. The toddlers and pre-schoolers are like random green shells and those needing the changes/help are the red shells that chase me down.
Hectic? Yes, but the challenge can be fun at times to find out how much I can do in short notice.
I think it may have been me who mentioned the Graviton in one of the comments. Honestly, this thing appeals to me more than the Morningstar. It's great that you put out a video on it. What is out there was short videos, but a more in-depth video was needed. Although I am a hobbyist at best, I appreciate your take on gear since your reviews are more sensible than others.
Super Mario Kart was a lot of fun!
I own both, and I do like this one more. Especially because of the touch screen. It’s so nice!
@@ScottUhlMusic I just sold a Nektar Pacer, which was good when it came out, but also very heavy and you needed the online app to program it. That plus your discount code...it seems I might be getting one of this soon.
Great content as always, Scott. I really want to start implementing MIDI into my live shows but it's very complicated... Thanks for making it much easier!
It would be cool to program a MIDI controller to play Super Mario Kart
Great video. I have been looking at this pedals for a while and I think you just convinced me. Super Mario Kart
Dang. I think I might need to buy some of these! Fantastic video!
The midi game is nuts! Super Mario kart is timeless! Great vid once again uhl-ly!!!
Looks a fantastic unit and ecosystem! Love love love the idea of pressing only one button for each part of each song, keeps it simple for live use! Do you think you can control Super Mario Kart with it?
Thank Scott for the deep dive. Your the REAL DEAL.
I appreciate that 🤘
SUPER MARIO CART. SCOTT, love your channel and eagerly await new videos. You are the midi God of youtube guitar technology!
Thanks man 🤘🤘
Looks like an amazing product. Need this to control my rig in Amplitube !! Super Mario Kart !!
Great video! I'm building my first MIDI powered pedal board right now and I'm wondering if I shoudl get this or the MC6 Pro! Could you maybe make a video comparing the two and maybe some others as well? One thing i love to do after jam sessions with my roommates is to play Super Mario Kart together :)
Thanks! I don’t really do comparison videos very often. Both are great, I prefer the Luminite personally, although I have the MC8, not the pro model
Great video Scott as always. My son is interested in the Super Mario Kart.
I need to see some comparison vids with the Morningstar and Bridge units.
Currently using an MC8... The peripherals here look good but I'm not seeing a loop switcher like the ML10X.
I’m not a huge comparison-video guy. My advice is to watch in depth videos on both, and go with whichever has the features that you need
@@ScottUhlMusic Fair enough.
The tricky bit is each subjective video is by it's nature linked to the reviewers particular use.
Whilst I know how I use mine and what I would like to be able to do, I don't know what I don't know.....
It's clearly a lot harder than 'here's OD X & Y'
We're at a point where we need a spread sheet for the functions and cross platform connectivity....tick the boxes.
For example, the ML10X is a great extension to the MC range but can I still use it effectively with the Graviton?
I really like the stand alone touch screen.... can I use it with the MC8 as a visual and functional extension at hand height?
Some manufacturers will embrace other ecosystems and some won't for a variety of reasons.
Not buying $Ks of potentially obsolete gear is the key objective.
WOW this thing is awesome! I was afraid the price would be rather high given what it offers but this just knock the Morningstar solution out of the water! I only just converted over to iPad since the M-Vave Chocolate wasn't working with my Android tablets so I can control my X32 Rack and this opens me up to migrating from BandHelper to StageTraxx. You were so right on the ROI of paying a bit more to get all of this tech simplifying your life. Now I just need the right DMX solution to get my lighting integrated and will be checking that other video of yours again to re-evaluate. That OSC support should make X32 control even easier going forward We're off to the races in Super Mario Kart! Cheers!
Nice! Glad you found this thing as awesome as I did! I’m truly impressed with everything it’s able to do 🤘
Love the channel! How many songs are allowed per set list?
Thanks! And I believe 10
Thanks for posting. Looks like a very nice MIDI controller. Never played Super Mario Kart but played plenty of guitar ......
Man this thing looks like an updated mini liquid foot for a fraction of the cost! This would play well with my Fractal rig I bet. Hopefully as well as I can play Super Mario Kart.
Good vid as usual Scott.
Super Mario Kart This is an amazing product, had seen them before but was never sure about it, this firmly puts it on my wish list over a Morningstar!
Such a cool tool! I wonder if you could figure out a way to hook that up to a gaming console to play *super mario kart* with only midi! That would be so neat
Thanks for this video! This looks like a cool product! Super Mario Kart! I always appreciate your knowledge when demonstrating new gear!
Man I love how this new midi controller works! It all make sense! I just remembered one of my all time favorite game which is Super Mario Cart. Cheers to your channel as always! ❤
Loved to start my midi things with this! I would love to play Super Mario Kart today
I am more of a knob guy and I have a big room setup, but I could use this... def looking into it
Oh man! This is the end-all-be-all of midi foot switches! Here I am using separate midi switches/ controllers for different devices or making other changes changes with my hands like a chump 😂 Great video, Scott! Super Mario Kart 😊
hey Scott. Amazing work again. Thank you. I'm going to put it simply: Luminite Graviton M2 or Morningstar MC6 pro? Which one would you go for? (used as a MIDI footswitch for pedalboard and live...often...)
Thanks! And I would watch videos on both and see which one you like best 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusic I watched loads of videos on both and I think I'd prefer the Luminite. Just wanted an expert user advice.
Looks like a great controller w incredible flexibility. Have not seen something this cool since Super Mario Kart.
Wow, such a great product & great review Scott. Thank you. (Super Mario Cart).
Super Mario Cart, dude this is unbelievable! Between the helix and stage traxx, what more do you need for a live setup
🤘🤘🤘
What a fantastic musical tool Scott, very impressive! ...even more impressive than a Super Mario Kart!
Super Mario Kart! Scott, I’ve been looking for a midi controller and this looks fantastic!
I need this in my life!! Even more so than Super Mario Kart!! Seriously, I've been dreaming of controlling my rig with MIDI! This would be beyond perfect. If I don't win, I'll be buying one!!
Edit: spelling
OMG!!! This is exactly what I’ve been searching for.
We currently are trying to control presets, patches as well as lighting and video cues.
It’s been a nightmare so far, but since watching this video, this looks perfect.
And I think it’s small enough to fit in the trunk of a Super Mario Kart 🤘
Yea, this looks right up my alley. Its either this or the MC6 Pro.
This looks super useful! I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Just like I've been waiting for a new Super Mario Kart!
That is a sick little unit. And love me some Super Mario Kart. Thanks Scott.
Thanks for this! Love the content. With one of these units I can finally configure my GigRig Atom to be my Mario Kart Controller....bless!
Thanks for making a video on these, they look amazing - Super Mario Kart!
Another great video Scott...and what a piece of kit! Can't think of a use for it on my end, so I'll stay out of the give-away. :-)
