Ufff, there are too many to be named, I don't right now have the mind into it, but in strings, you will find many variants. Of course, you will have to chose the one that best suits your needs.JoPo wrote:Yes... Strings don't look as good as wind instrument.

Re: Sample Modeling Flute
for super awesome solo strings, you could go to the local college or university music department and get a human...
Re: Sample Modeling Flute
And for recording my music I could go to the professionnal studio out there and have a super awesome audio engineer.
Re: Sample Modeling Flute
exactly, or just put up a mic.

Re: Sample Modeling Flute
Cool But it is so much fan to do it oneself, even if it is not "that" good!

Re: Sample Modeling Flute
you asked for violin, so here's violin, in a shabby environment, live on stage, probably cut with just some SM58s ...

Re: Sample Modeling Flute
thanks for the link! that guy can play that thing. Would love to get that instrument, a lot more reasonably priced than the Eigenharp.Pygmy Audio Farms wrote:Swarm, etc and Linnstrument
Re: Sample Modeling Flute
It really depends on which eigenharp you have in mind ... Pico, Tau, Alpha ?
Re: Sample Modeling Flute
it almost appears that learning that instrument would be almost as tricky as learning the violin. it looks super cool, though.
Nestor, music is only really wonderful when others are involved, either as participants or as listeners...being impressed with one's self is pretty boring pretty quickly, imo.

Harpejji U12 is my latest instrument.
Incredibly easy to play.

And worth learning for expressive controlling of Scope synths and mpe devices/instruments.garyb wrote:it almost appears that learning that instrument would be almost as tricky as learning the violin.
Scope is easy to setup with these type of controllers/instruments and the expression it brings is 'earmazing', not to be missed.
Re: Sample Modeling Flute
yeah, i agree.
Re: Sample Modeling Flute
Actually i'm seriously considering the Sylphyo to replace my Akai EWI4000s when the time comes. I like that it's a lot shorter and can fit into my carry on luggage. and it's got 5 octaves. Great job on the design of that.HUROLURA wrote:It really depends on which eigenharp you have in mind ... Pico, Tau, Alpha ?
Re: Sample Modeling Flute
Yes ! Thanks for the links ! Very interesting, even if wind instrument or string (piano / guitar) inspires me much more than violon for solos...
I believe that the benefit to learn that incredible instrument is that it is a midi controler -> you can play any midi synth / sampler you want, that's it. If one want just play violon, of course, the best way to achieve that is to learn to play violon ! And if one wants to play violon in an orchestra, I don't believe the best thing to do it to learn to play a midi controler, even if it's an amazing one and load a violon sample library thru a computer, amplificator and speakers..! I think your violons players colleagues would look at you in a strange way...

Re: Sample Modeling Flute
Can someone tell me what the guy has in front of his mouth ?
I guess it's a midi controler... But how does it work ? Blow ? What does he control ? Swam expression ?

Your breath controls the value of cc message, e.g. the stronger the breath the higher the value.
Not sure if any of the above are the one in the video

Re: Sample Modeling Flute
Here, you can check how Sample Modeling tenor sax is good and the 1° breath controler on the list (the other Sample Modeling sax (soprano - alto - bariton) are as good :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDH2MEXwaFQ
Yes.. That looks very interesting to control Swam sax expression with that kind of breath controler ; much more than the mod wheel. The mod wheel could control the growl level, for instance... And be able to control 2 crucial controler when playing with one hand..
I'm curious to know how the breath sensor works mecanicaly inside the device... Could be a propeller... Probably. Or a pressure sensor, with a spring somewhere... I don't find any info about its functioning on the links.
That one looks even better for vibrato ! Just bite it !

Re: Sample Modeling Flute
I'd come to the same conclusions about its workings, there seems to be a good few ways to capture/read air pressure/flow with microchips, from a mousewheel with a propeller to those working in a similar way to a police breathalyser. I remember reading the first edition of the tec controller suffered from a collection of spit in the breathing tube, this problem fixed now in its latest version. Many of the current breath controllers use piezoresistive pressure sensing.JoPo wrote: I'm curious to know how the breath sensor works mecanicaly inside the device...
Synthtopia has a round-up of videos describing the use of breath controllers and the different types
Tec - "breath controller facts"
How to use a breath controller
Building a breath controller
Make an arduino breath controller
Breath controller for synths
Interesting video links in the responses to building a breath controller with max/msp
I'd be interested in anything you find out
