Hi,

We are back from IFA 2007 fair in Berlin. We were not really prepared for the interest that The Wiinstrument has produced, but everything went very well—The software appears to be really stable once a Wii remote is connected. As I was forced to practice eight hours per day while demonstrating The Wiinstrument's capabilities, my rhythm skills seem to have really improved… :)

Thanks to all visitors of our stand at IFA fair, your feedback is invaluable! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

A release of version 0.2 for MacOS X, Linux and Windows will be available in a few days on this page. Meanwhile you could try the old 0.1 release (OSX only)…

If you consider buying a Bluetooth dongle for connecting a Wii remote on Windows, please consult the WiiLi wiki first—some Bluetooth devices seem to be incompatible to Wii remotes.
