[FroggStudios]

Very relaxing sounds,I love it!

[tyreon]

[llkooks]

Hi, nice attempt with the tablet. I particularly like the idea you got for the vibrato. I am also a Wacom player and would like to gather and discuss with people of this community. Please, tell me if you're interested. -Nicolas

[casteldisangro89]

huh, is that supposed to be beautiful?

[gyrocam]

very cool. Gotta love the WACOM. I gotta get my paws on a one that has tilt. This is like a modern Theramin.

[ageshero]

where do i get them and are they free?

[4polelowpass]

They? The Tablet costs money, and VAZ Modular isn't free either. MIDITab is free though.

[LiVeYoUrLiFe1028]

sounds like a scary alien movie. LOL!

[fetymann]

Kinda sounds like Kevin Braheny's music

[madbeatstu]

wow, my girlfriend bought me wacom for my birthday, but i dont use it, but now i know wht to do sweet.

[Mirrorbeholding]

Give it away and send it to the south neighbooring country.

[beeny33]

sounds like horror sci-fi suspence music from the 80's =D

[TsumeSlash335]

after a while it sounds like pretty music. ^_^

sounds really nice.

[Klayperson]

Epic. Almost sounds like something from Exile, in the less sci-fi parts.

[fuckthelotofya]

sorry i hadnt reached the part where you said what software was used, do you have to buy that stuff or just download it?

[4polelowpass]

I bought my copy of VAZ Modular. MIDITab is free.

[fuckthelotofya]

[TokyoCouture]

This touched my soul..seriously XD

[Fallangelsflesh]

wooww... the sound is great!!

amazing

[brytrook]

Wow, great idea. As a Vaz user, I found this very helpful.

Will be setting this up tonight!

[firesyphon]

how do you calibrate the tablet to vaz???????

[4polelowpass]

I disabled all but one parameter in MIDITab and did a MIDI learn in VAZ Modular for that parameter. I then repated this until all 4 paramters where programmed. I had to limit the parameter range on the X-axis, controlling the pitch, to make it easier hit the right notes.

[firesyphon]

Well i just got a bamboo fun. I have both miditab, vaz mod, and wmidi. what exactly do you mean by parameters??

[4polelowpass]

Parameters such as Amplitude, Pitch, Vibrato and Pulse Width Modulation.

[firesyphon]

sweet! that is an interesting way of making music! I gotta get me one!

[muzicul]

Your music is cool. Your photots ast the end are also very striking. Could you post them somewhere? They really create a unique mood. I could pick them up in a newsgroup with an nzb link?

[4polelowpass]

The photos are taken/made by me. They are nowhere to be found online.

[Volatile314]

...and this is when I suddenly became interested in getting a Wacom tablet...

[SurvivalOfTheHippest]

vaz modular is great.

Did you also control the pitch with the pen?

[4polelowpass]

Yes

[zimant78]

use tablet 2 midi?

[4polelowpass]

Yes
