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

Thank you! Many, many hours (days) ahead…

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…

#193

This looks very exciting… but I can’t seem to get any sound out of it? Anyone?

#194

You have to open the editor and make sure there is an incoming audio source of some kind (e.g. pings from the WP). I’m still not able to get MIDI out of my WP so I went a slightly different route…

In Ableton, I put the M4L device on a new track. I then made an audio track, put a Vinyl Distortion on it with a really low density (~0.04) and volume all the way up. I then set the output of that audio track to the Wing Pinger Resonator MIDI track. Then, click on the “Open Editor” button on the M4L device and in the top right set audio input to receive from the audio track with the Vinyl Distortion on it. It’s a really cool sounding resonator and you could ping it with virtually any kind of sound source!

Now I just to figure out with TRS → MIDI cable will actually work with the WP…

#195

Ah yes - perfect - thanks… interesting sounds and tunings from the off : )

#196

nor me. I have at least 6-8 different ones and haven’t been able to get one to send MIDI either. I remain ever optimistic though :slight_smile:

#197

Wing Pinger is type a midi trs out. What are you trying? In or out and with what?

#198

I just looked up the specs of the cables I tried and I think they were all Type B, so that would explain it.

Do you have any recommendations for a Type A connector? I can’t seem to easily find it online.

EDIT:

Did some quick research and I think this is the cable I should get:

It’s surprisingly difficult to find proper info about these (Type A vs B) online and there don’t seem to be many options.

#199

I think befaco offer both types. Quite tiring these two different types.

#200

from my post further up above…try these…

#201

I was just messing around with this plugin, any ideas what the actual Wingie is - maybe a hardware version of this?
