When Celemony unveiled its Direct Note Access (DNA) technology at the 2008 Frankfurt Musikmesse, it left our heads spinning.

Prior to its release, Peter Neubäcker - the man who created DNA - has revealed more about the technology in a new video. In it, he discusses how he came up with the idea, how DNA works and can be used, how much computing power it requires and - crucially - what kind of material it works best with.
