Vinylised drums & beats on Handsonic (by Franck Smith)

Dark, up beat, bassy, technoish, great! Definitely going to check out your site. Do you have any albums out? You so could make one and should if you haven't. :)

Hi, wow - this is amazing. I have an HPD15 in the loft...this has made me want to dig it out as I scratch and want to try this technique. Can you get the scratch effect out of the box, just raw HPD15 factory, if so would you be kind enough to share the config so we can learn?

What's the device to your right (left on screen) with the rotating light? Also how are you wiring this setup? Are the moog devices synched midi?

[handsonic1]

@frostedwerd ... the device is a Boss RT-20 Rotary Ensemble... concerning Moogerfoogers wiring: no midi synch, just a chain of in>out>in>out... Cheers!

... it's an experimental personal coating I'm testing... basically, I imagined this personal solution to avoid hands perspiring directly on the pad when playing too much, for extensive periods of time... w/ my best regards...

To think your creating those kind of glitchy filtered loops by hand, is very cool.

I like the idea :) and im jealous of your moog fx !

I love your playing and creativity. Do you have a website or an equipment list? I am thinking about trying to put all of my Roland product together to do ensemble pieces. HPD-15, SPD-20 and V-Drums. Have you used any other triggers, like foot pedals etc. Do you have a CD, etc...? You are cutting the new frontier! I sincerely enjoy your playing.

Thanks! ... my site: odiolorgnetteDOTcom

Ckeck also video diary at : youtubeDOTcom/odiolorgnette

N.B.- All my discographic works are very experimental, well-versed in 'noise-manufacturing' and - for most of them - they don't include the Handsonic (I use it mainly on stage).

I stay at your disposal to indicate you which recordings contain the HPD-15 as a center sound-source.

w/ my best regards...

You are the man!!!

Do you adjust the sensitivity at all, or did you adjust the pads somehow? Either way, amazing.

[handsonic1]

... I didn't change the factory settings for sensitivity... I just adjust my fingers sensitivity :) ... Cheers!

Why are your pads not solid black?

They look cool, but is this something that you did to them, or did it happen naturally?

Groovy! That is a cool concept.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply.

Take care.
