:green_heart: thank you Jonny! I consider a standalone instrument a more complete presentation of the designerā€™s idea and aesthetics than a module, as not only functions are to be designed, but also the patch. Iā€™ve been a long term fan of masterpieces from Buchla, Peter, Rob, Tom, Will etc, and Wing Pinger is my take on a standalone instrument, itā€™s very important to me.

My design goal is to maintain traditional musical elements like melodies and harmonies in a non traditional, chaotic instrument. And the ability to morph seamlessly between tonal and atonal sounds with a quick and intuitive interface, to offer huge expression freedom for musicians.

Yes there will be 1/8 version.

Itā€™s a carefully tuned voltage summing circuit, thanks to E96 series and precision resistors.

Great discussion between @MengQiMusic and Hainbach. Was there a reverb added to sound demos? That aside, great sounding instrument and awesome presentation. Looking forward to exploring one soon.

#31

Yeah, in the video there is. Around 13 mins Hainbach reaches in and add more.

i am enamored. call it gas, call it what you will. this sounds like an incredible design straddling such fascinating territory. i havenā€™t been in the ciat lonbarde game for a very long timeā€¦ but sidrax may need to return and these looks sooooo complimentary.

all the hearts for meng qi. i donā€™t have enough hearts to send to meng qi. deepest respect!

Iā€™ve been bugging peter about bring back his stuber design (since he hinted at doing just that on the DDD site) for a long while
and this honestly might have to fill that spot
although Iā€™ll miss the additional 2 highpass filters and all the individual CV outputs it offered

Really loved the discussion in that video, especially around the idea of a fixed instrument vs a modular system. Good talk too about how a patch can become an instrument.

That Hainbach video was great. Itā€™s got me thinking that if I get a Pinger then maybe I no longer have to track down an elusive Epoch Twinpeak.

Beautiful concept, and beautifully executed based on that Hainbach video alone. Canā€™t wait to get one.

Itā€™s still several months away. Price still undetermined.

I have been listening to the Meng Qi/Hainbach video today and I could not help but notice that little noise of delight the latter made when he first started playing the WP and hit a sweet spot. You canā€™t fake that. Very telling.

It truly looks and sounds like an instrument. Complete unto itself and made to be played.

I look forward to learning more. And now Iā€™m off to watch the v2 prototype video a few more times.

i canā€™t wait to hear a demo with the trigger outs being usedā€¦ truely seems like a complete instrument, but the opportunity for interaction as well is almost too exciting to me :cold_sweat:
