Another way of thinking about miniature omnis like the DPA - is that you can get them so close to the source that you increase the signal dramatically, and that helps reduce potential feedback. They are also less susceptible to handing noise from being omni and miniature. That’s the reason they are used so much in live theatre eg:

Wow that sounds suprisingly good. I suppose the dimensions need to be something specific?

Nah, it’s really just old rubber bands stretched over garbage. They sit on a steel Allen wrench (which is what the pickup senses) on the pickup and sound on both sides, so I just move the pickup around and pull on the bands to adjust tension/pitch. It seems to be in a good place with one side half the length as the other but it ain’t precise.

Couldn’t figure out where to put this, so gonna take a stab at reviving this thread…

The new Instruo modules came across my radar today–The Arbhar granular audio processor, which has a built in condenser mic (neat!) and the Lubadh dual looper which seems to emulate a twin tape deck (mind blown!). They seem like they could be a pretty powerful sampling system unto themselves, and I know not much is out there yet about them, and I certainly don’t want to perpetuate GAS, but I really love the direction they’ve taken things and would like to get a discussion going.

I feel like a lot of people around here would really dig the Lubadh, especially those into tape etc.

Wow. Those look very, very nice. The built in mic is a great touch.

This really got my interest piqued about these two modules. Not sure I could spare the HP or favor Arbhar over the eventual Clouds successor, but I must say that they really are doing interesting work at Instruo.

Finally got a DivKid Superbooth video on Arbhar. Fascinating and looks fun. ~€410

Anyone have recommendations for artists practicing live sampling as a major aspect of their work?

I really like Jan Bang and Erik Honore, who have done some great stuff with David Sylvian…
