@robinrimbaud thank you! After an intense morning this piece of music really made me relax during lunch break. I own a Soma Lyra-8 that I love. The Winger Pinger sounds just as inspiring/inviting/exciting. Looking forward to more of your explorations. Thanks again!

Ah, that’s lovely to hear! Not had the chance to play with a Soma Lyra-8 as yet either. Nor the Pulsar-23 which looks like a truly amazing instrument. The Wing Pinger constantly surprises me with possibilities too which is rewarding. Thanks for listening!

Anyone closer to knowing exactly which midi cable is most likely to work yet? I am keen to plug my keystep in… I don’t own any din to jack cables so looking to buy. Am guessing the Befaco one would a good shout as they do one designed to work with Arturia kit (whatever that means?). Thanks!

It is such a bat shit crazy machine- I flipping love it! Below is a clip of some squelch that happened last night.

Midi is type A as far as I remember.

i invested in a few of these and they are a real problem solver with all sorts of gear…

An expansive 23 minute live recording of the Wing Pinger, in a very ambient, meditative mood. I encourage you to listen to this back on speakers or headphones, or else you’ll miss out on some very deep and sensual bass sounds too. This is definitely an instrument that keeps revealing itself in new ways.

what are those holes on the face for, leds?

#183

I have often wondered the same thing. That’s what it looks like but there are no LEDs in them.

Nice video @robinrimbaud! There are trimmers beneath all of the holes. The cutoff trimmers are more accessible–implying that mortals may tune the filters and live to tell the tale. The Q and ExpFM trimmers are filed under the --good luck with that! category.

Thanks - I saw the trimmers on the left, accessible, but also thought the others, empty looking, were possibly for LEDs. Not sure I’m going near any of them then! :joy:

That’s a great video, Mr Scanner. So easy to get totally lost in this instrument… The recording below is somewhere I ended up last night. Both WP outputs going into DPLPG. One fully open and the other, more percussive voice being triggered by one of the trigger outputs from the WP. Then to Mimeophon, which I think was being modulated by step output somewher, can’t remember. Anyway, thought it might be of interest. Such a joyful thing to use… Wp2 by swim tortuga | Free Listening on SoundCloud

When I received the Wing Pinger I was a bit disappointed because I thought one row of encoders is for the left channel and the other row controls the right channel.
But both rows affect each side.

Recording is in mono and completely dry. Not even a light compression.

There is no effect if you keep expfm down and not use the crossping setting.
I always recommend starting out with no expfm, step fully ccw, fairly high q on each channel, pingless and slow.
Some settings make not so much sense to me personally without input unless I want do the farty fart thing (fast crossping), however if you run audio in and dial back q these options make much more sense (to me).
I also recommend pinging other synths via midi out and running them into the audio in. Also sequencing the Wing Pinger via a Tracker is good fun.

Meng Qi shared this Max for live device with me but I haven’t checked it out myself yet:Wing Pinger Resonator.amxd (3.6 MB)

Also, Wingies should be on their way soonish as well!

What MIDI cable are you using because I’ve tried a few TRS → DIN cables and I cannot seem to get MIDI in or out…
