beautifully done!! (at least 20 characters)

[guitargyro]

Holy crap. That is a gorgeous piano! Hope it sounds half as good as it looks!

[Olivier]

New directions…

Getting more comfortable with Ableton these days. Not necessarily proficient, but comfortable.

[kasselvania]

That’s been my mission. I’ve been in this merely for performance, to learn new tools and challenge myself, but I’ve realized I’d like to learn the craft of writing and composition as well. It’s VERY difficult.

Mechanical keyboards switches and caps are really great to make both nice to use and good looking instruments/interfaces… Tactile feel is an important thing.

[Szuumm]

My first hardware synth in about 10 years. Loads of fun so far despite only scratching the surface.

(Also forgot how many additional cables you need to integrate everything together )

[sbaio]

Absolutely! One of the next things I plan to implement are manual, playable gates and tap tempo that will make more use of the keys.

[Cutlasses]

This is great! Did you hack a computer keyboard, or is that your own PCB under there, and you managed to source the keyboard parts yourself?

[sbaio]

Thanks! I made my own PCB that can hold ten Cherry MX switches. The blank key caps are are from a full set that I bought a while ago for this purpose.

[kasselvania]

Any chance you’d be open to sharing the files once all is more solidified?

[sbaio]

Sure! Happy to share it all once it’s in a presentable state. I’ll make a new thread when it’s ready.

[timp]

What tempo you working at?

All of them!

[kbit]

Please tell me you’ve set them all to the same tempo and listened for the drift.

[ElectricaNada]

Looks like you have a severe case of MAS.

[timp]

Of course, that is why I own them.

Some do not drift eg the newer quartz locked ones set to the same tempo do not drift, they just continue with same offset as when started. But those still sound great with slightly different fixed tempos, passing through sync & drifting apart and then back into sync briefly… The older Taktell models are better for this as BPM input is continuous, so can get the two BPMs very close and the drift is much slower.

I do the same with two Circadian Rhythm modules on my modular

@kbit

Please tell me you’ve set them all to the same tempo and listened for the drift.

@timp

Of course, that is why I own them.

they’ll eventually sync and start gently swaying the piano

[mzero]

Clearly you are rehearsing to perform in Poème symphonique by György Ligeti!
