iPAD MONOME? CHIPPAD APP! Demonstration on Mantaray - Incidental Earth

[freesoulvw]

I have no ides what the chip pad is good for. I have watched every video on it and have yet to understand what it is doing. I see pads like an electribe yet all I ever see or hear is just the full samples playing over and over. Maybe if you want to and have time/interest go back and revisit good ol chip pad and show us mere mortals what good the app is for. I have watched all the developers bids and more still no grapes of what the thing can do except play samples.

@freesoulvw You might be missing the point - "playing samples" IS WHAT IT DOES! What's special about it is the WAY it lets you play them - chop them up, reorder them, turn them backward. Fade them in and out, etc. You could say it's a tool for live performance, or spontaneous arrangement. This is much like the MLR app that Monome users like Daedelus have advanced to a true artform. Load it up with a bunch of interesting sample loops, and then have fun mixing or mashing-up!

This is one sick set-up.

Great soundtrack feel. You're ready to do movie scores.

@kingtetvideo Thank you! Would you believe - the samples I'm using here WERE from a soundtrack piece "Incidental Earth" that I did for an art video in 2003? Part of the large "Envisioning the Future" group show we will never forget.

Awesome video - I've seen your other vids and happy to see you using chipPad on the Mantaray! Really great!
