Guest oxiactionmax Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I would, if i had it. This is fucking genius does it say if the note widths are the same as a standard piano?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blicero Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 i don't think there are widths... that's the point. microtonal i'd rather get a doepfer ribbon controller for much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oxiactionmax Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 obviously, perhaps i could have phrased it better, i was wondering if an octave spanned the same as it would on piano keys because once your hand is used to certain distances it can be difficult and destructive to suddenly change it.

pcock Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 ive tried one of those things, absolutely amazing how easy/hard would it be to use a theremin as a midi controller? cos i love theremins. ive been trying to remember the name of the guy who plays the laser organ for a while, with a complicated combination of like 88 theremins, hes a legend.

cloudbreaker Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I want me one of these :) just think about how a piece of hardware like this would affect your composition. quite awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greenbank Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 my midi cardboard pirate ships wheel is pretty wacky - only used it once for a pirate theme gig and retired it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blicero Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 how easy/hard would it be to use a theremin as a midi controller? cos i love theremins. it's been done many times using max/msp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Cooper Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 My mate's got this really cheesy plasticy midi drum box and I've had this recurring fantasy about gutting it and using it to make a set of midi windchimes. You could call it "art". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I've got one of these: 'thummer' Well, I'm testing a prototype. It's freakin' excellent! The velocity sensitivity is awesome and it is actually really easy to play once you spend a couple of hours learning the weird note layout. The only letdown is on the software side, but that's still in development so it can be excused. Oh, and it's usb only at the moment, which is a little annoying. But yeah, the x-y controllers are also really great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudbreaker Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 thummer looks like some spaceship nun-chaku's :) controlling wireless is fun too : http://createdigitalmusic.com/2006/08/23/c...-download-free/ excellent! will be showing this to my psp/live advocate friend.

Dpek Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Thummer looks really great. But how about the sound itself? Does it just have basic instruments or can you actully make your own instruments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boo Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I've got one of these: are those playstation analog sticks on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chim Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 hah, I thought about that too tauboo, they look exactly like them anyway, in all honesty, i can't quite figure out the point of these weird midimachines.. what's so bad about regular keys?

modey Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Yes, they are playstation-style analog sticks.. One of them returns automatically to the centre (best assigned to pitchbend and modulation) and the other one stays where you move it. It is incredibly awesome to play, it also constantly outputs pressure information for each key, so you can really do some expressive stuff with it.
