We've covered musical-instrument innovations many times before. But Otto, a new instrument designed by Luca De Rosso for his master's thesis at the University of Venice, takes the cake for elegant interface design.

From there, it proves a lighted schematic of the beat--a map of all the constituent sounds that are embedded within the sample. That allows the user to then mash up the sequence in real time.
