Any copies of this laying around??
No, but I just listened to The Man & The Journey in quad today which I must say was awesome.

Decode but sounded damn discrete to me.
Great article bsquiresjr. More info on the "Azimuth Coordinator." I wonder what the other side of the box looks like in regards to outputs? How hard would it be to make one of these?

Cool! I was looking for a pic earlier. Thanks.
The easiest way to do the same thing I know of is with a PS2 style controller like the Airflo and using Sony Vegas in 5.1 mode. You have to go into vegas and tell it to recognize the controller and I think it actually worked right away for me without programing it. But it is programmable as well.
As far as making an analog version I dunno how much it would cost to make. That would be a very cool idea for a DIY kit though if you find anything.

"1967: Pink Floyd performs the first-ever surround sound concert at “Games for May,” ..."
Wait just a second, first-ever surround sound concert? I think not. First ever surround sound rock concert, maybe.

Yeah, it works for panners or whatever you assign it to. It's been a couple years since I tried it though but if I remember right it was not without it's issues. Trying to remember but I think I didn't like how the sticks are spring loaded and return to the center instead of staying put where you leave them. If I was doing live sound I would upgrade to a midi controller as I think this should be much easier and more reliable.
I used a controller once on a music video I edited/co-directed for a friend/artist Mercury Waters. It really saved me some time with some quick rhythmic dissolves I was doing on the video.
