That is incredible. Wish i could be there! What’s in your hand that you’re moving around the snare? (Sounds like creating feedback of some sort?)

It’s a contact mic if I recall the creative process behind this well enough, @Rodrigo talked about it in various threads ! It sounds amazing.

It’s actually a condenser mic:

The housing around it is a 3d-printed thing I made. Some more pictures here:

It’s largely friction stuff, but also a fair amount of feedback. The overall approach is something I’ve been working on for a few years now (video). The big new thing here is the incorporation of the DIY crossfader thing to apply turntablism techniques.

Then some machine learning stuff along with the Metal Resonance library from @timp.

If you can’t wait to see @Rodrigo on YouTube in a week, you can hear it on the BBC tomorrow: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000c2s3

I’m enjoying the dada system.

I found that the mounts were fun to make but not super robust - I’m cack at diy though. A stronger solution for me has been to use big mic clips and jam the solenoids in. It’s not pretty but they are solid now.

Has anyone got any strategies for minimising the solenoid click? For some situations it’s almost as prominent as what it’s playing.

re minimising the solenoid click,
I wonder if that is why the PercPro beaters are fully enclosed?
I havent managed to find a way to take them apart, but some form of dampening (so the solenoid mechanism does not hit metal against metal inside the solenoid when it has fully fired & hitting against the inner shell) and fully wrapping & enclosing the solenoid reduces the mechanism sound…
just a theory!
