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!

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

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:

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

199

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

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

Elektron midi adapter probably cannot work since it is type B. You will need a type A. https://minimidi.world/

A note from Meng Qi on listing a small number of Wing Pingers in his Etsy shop–

On 24th February 10:00 Thursday EST / 15:00 Thursday GMT , 6 Wing Pingers (4 Minijack, 2 Banana) will be for sale in my online store.

Plus, the manual has been updated–and now includes a diagram of the signal flow. :clap:
