mmh, linnstrument…
any thoughts on this one?
alternative controllers always had a certain attraction for me.

It’s my favorite piece of non-synth gear. Extremely expressive to play, and a lot of my guitar technique carries over surprisingly well.

In this setup I’m using it via the uMIDI to control the shapeshifter. Pressure adds FM and the vertical axis on the pad is filter cutoff.

been a bit quiet of late, especially in terms of posting new sounds… it’s because i bit the bullet, sold off a load of kit and threw my hat in the modular ring. Now to rebuild all my Aleph scenes with CV controls…

You ever post video of your performance/video process?

not really … maybe i should :slight_smile: .
somehow setting up a camera always gives me the heebeejeebees and affects the performance.
there’s a few videos floating around that i made to demo Aleph scenes i was distributing, but they’re more just system demos than performances

I know what you mean. I’ve really been enjoying watching folks use Octatrack, so when I saw your setup it occurred to me to ask.

Looks like a lovely focused instrument, @dspk - really looking forward to hearing what comes next.

working with The Coincidentals here in Chicago on an improvised machine learning and dance piece. funnel is a poor man’s parabolic.

edit: ah! wrong picture previously.

All the gadgets and brick-a-brack from sampling/programming the playback modes of TPV2.

I love mine. It’s the most expressive and flexible controller I’ve ever seen. Roger is super nice to talk with and very open to suggestions and questions.I use mine with the Expert Sleepers FH-1 to control everything you can think of in a modular system.

set the camera up a couple days before you intend to record that way

that has always helped me

good idea :slight_smile: . but doesn’t it just get in the way (physically i mean) i’ve never really found a good way to mount my ipad or phone (no proper camera :slight_smile: so you can see the kit well… ) any suggestions?

I’m not so opposed to just the side view. Or you can get a cheap mount for a tripod, and get a used tripod.

Fairly minimal setup for a gig tonight in Brooklyn:

Ignore the octatrack in the background, it’s staying home.

Nord Micro Modular, Faderfox LC2 offering additional knobs/faders for the NMM, OP-1, and out of frame modded walkman.
