I bought these devices some time back but for whatever reason (probably laziness) I couldn’t figure out how to use them effectively… until this past week when everything clicked and oh my god it’s full of stars

The ability to wreak (semicontrollable) havok across multiple lanes and multiple devices is wonderful. This is so clever! (FUN THING TO DO: put the rotating rhythm generator from CV Tools in front of Dial & let shit go haywire)

Yess! Glad you’re getting that hang of them. It’s really cool to hear about first reactions v when “it clicks”. Super inspiring:)

Love that CV tools idea. I also like to use dial as a clock divider for those generated sequences that aren’t necessarily 4/4

Ah, that’s a great idea! I’ll try that.

Also, if I could be so bold as to submit a feature request: it would be neat to have the option to play note sequences into ring steps like you can for passcode.

Thanks so much for these devices – they’re opening up Live in a totally new way for me!

Love Smartphones but still pretty confused by it. Not free at stream time so don’t want to occupy a spot if it’s limited. Will this be recorded?

These devices look so cool @rjonline00 ! I’m going to dig deeper into this to understand better how to use them. Did a little session with lilpup last week and it was very inspiring.
Watching @edison going wild with this on IG totally blows my mind⭐️

Wasn’t able to cath the stream last night. Hope a recording will be available later!

The program director(?) said it would be posted, eventually, on https://artscienceconnect.gc.cuny.edu/#events

been peaking at this for a while, feeling intrigued by the amazing results i’m hearing, but definitely mind boggled. just watched the stream from october and it all makes sense now! damn such a powerful package! going to try out the free versions for now at get a bit more familiar, but have a feeling the full pack is going to be a must have.

i have a few m4l devices by yehezkel raz and i can think of some very cool crossovers. especially thinking of his envelope follower peaks, which takes audio input and outputs a bang whenever a set threshold is passed. going to try and see if i can implement text into it, and make a smartphone patch that plays a long with both fader movement and live percussion : )
